Pros

The best place to work for job satisfaction and for maintaining your health. Hard work is recognized and compensated well, with incentives etc. You will enjoy the work, if you are a people person, the colleagues are all very nice, the customers are also mostly very good. If you are lucky, you will be in a good team and you will have good progress. Overall, you will enjoy working here. Management is very mature and the hierarchy is not overly complicated. You stand reasonable chances for promotion if you are a good performer. Though, you will find some who are involved in low level politics, be assured they will not get any benifits out of that as the interviews are conducted for all IJP's by some others, whom they would not even know.

Cons

Nothing much in particular, salaries could have been better

Pros

Global exposure, well positioned to take advantage of emerging markets (China & India). Lots of opportunity for improvements in efficiency, due to horrific technology.

Cons

Technology is about two decades behind. Uncertain of committment to USA business. Working for the Brits is very different than working for US bank. Most career jobs given to Brits in Management Training program - very hard for Americans to "get in."
