Pros

More laid back and casual than other investment banks. Handful of quality people. Size and scale.

Cons

People are not considered a competitive advantage. Little to no investment in undergraduates, training opportunities, etc. Very individualistic - most are not team players. Extremely hierarchal. Tendency to rest on their name and people are not made accountable. The management of expenses is horrendous and careless.

Pros

--IMs get paid extremely well, especially compared to local UK banking jobs. The benefits package is significant. --The opportunities for exposure, geographic and cross-business development, and networking are great --Work/life balance is fantastic--short hours, lots of holiday and easy to book time off

Cons

--You cannot choose your job, location or time of move --HR are useless --Compensation/standard of living varies widely depending on location --It's very difficult to forge relationships, both personal and professional, because you keep moving and the programme won't allow you to pursue them
