Pros

Wow, upper management is really pushing for top tech. Which is awesome if you are in Tech or Starts division. I here high performer analysts this year received around 40k bonus and 30% salary increase, which is unprecedented. Not sure how they compensated people at higher levels. Upper management is trying to match other tech companies' compensation to compete for top people now.

Cons

In some teams expect to work multiple weekends and also stay late. On an avg day people leave around 7 pm. Some people log back in when they get home.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
