Pros
Good name to have on your resume, decent base salary and benefits, good learning exposure early on.
Cons
This year really showed the cracks. The bonus pool came out way smaller, with management blaming big underperformance against our benchmarks. The CEO straight up said it'd be "significantly smaller." That hits everyone, including the teams who spent all year cleaning up messes they didn't make. The reorgs never stop and they're a mess. "Tech Transformation" stuff gets rushed out with no real plan, then they pile the next one on top before anyone's had a chance to settle in and actually fix things. People are stuck putting out fires that leadership started, while getting judged against targets that were never realistic in the first place. The bigger problem is the culture up top, lots of blame, politics, and putting on a show. When things go wrong it rolls downhill, when things go right the credit goes up. For a place this size to have one of its worst years on both investment performance and tech, in a year where markets did well and AI was booming, that's on weak leadership, not the people doing the actual work.
