      great for global career opportunities, but bureaucratic management system gets frustrating

      Pros

      - great opportunities to live and work abroad (global network = global opportunities) - prestige of working for the world's largest bank (especially if you keep in mind they're way bigger abroad than in the U.S.) - good at attracting above-average talent - good benefits

      Cons

      - large number of employees means you sometimes get lost as just another number (often times no strong sense of community beyond work group) - seemed a little stingy on the salary side of things, especially with regard to certain positions - extensive management hierarchy means a lot of red tape and sometimes few opportunities to get noticed/move up

      A culture of bullies and charlatans.

      Pros

      Agressive pay packages, good health, dental, and 401k/pension. Generous time-off policy.

      Cons

      Pay for performance culture has created an environment of management that only focuses on making their annual bonus. Limited diversity of thought; management has a tendency to only promote people with similar views and management styles. Lack of risk management.
