Pros

large company, easy to slack off and no one will find out

Cons

on fi trading floor, very much an 'old boy network. you scratch my back, i scratch your back. ppl who were involved in the subprime/cdo crisis were not laid off. no one from in-business or independent risk was really touched. that just means that these are fluff jobs with no real power or oversight.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
