Pros

The network has a global reach and thus there is huge potential to expand and grow the business. The benefits and vacation time are great.

Cons

Since the company is so large there are competing management priorities and there is no longer a focus on serving the needs of the financial community. There is also the looming UK pension debt that will continue to put a strain on using profits to drive innovation.

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
