Pros
Great culture to work at. Employee friendly with access to managers to openly discuss about ongoing personal issues or stress scenarios arising out of work. Investment Banking Dept offers exposure to projects aligned to latest trends in investment banking from a regulatory, markets and quantitative analysis perspective. Great opportunities to travel for business purposes, enhances learning by means of business facing and trading desk interactions for requirements gathering.
Cons
Some of the strategic tools (e.g. IM) used are built or configured from a global perspective, and may not meet the response requirements for a specific department. Such a change will need multiple rounds of evaluation globally and signoff, typically a longer change cycle. This introduces the usage of alternate ticketing tools, needing to maintain sync between ticketing in multiple systems for reasons of consistency.
