Pros

Applicable only to the Capital Financing team in NY -- work with great people and hours are reasonable once you've reached VP title. 6% 401k match, 25 days vacation, cheap health insurance options with 90% coverage.

Cons

Too much politics, run by London so you have to be British, base pay freeze for last 5 years even with promotion, they pay market value to newcomers but don't bump up pay for loyal current employees, lots of layers of people that make the org structure cumbersome and complex (reminds me of the government), not a meritocracy even if you increased p&l you won't get paid for it.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
