Pros

Good talent, a lot of remaining talent from Lehman Brothers. The fact that the firm is international gives one a full perspective of a global institution.

Cons

Very British, low risk appetite, a lot of bickering between departments, low bonuses compared to other firms, clients prefer us competitors.
