Pros

I have been welcomed by a friendly environment. Serious professionals collaborative and helpful. My team was responsible for a trading application and sometimes it was stressful, with long hours and some calls outside working times. Average-low compensation compared with other investment banks.

Cons

Sometimes I felt lack of guidance from management, and it was not always clear who was responsible for what. Dealing with the corporate intranet is a nightmare, and most contacts with the people supporting the IT infrastructure were fruitless or worse.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
