      Pros

      The firm is established and prestigious. The work force is pretty diversed and has a good amount of competent people. The pay is competitive and there's a lot of material to learn new things. You just have to be proactive in researching. People are nice enough to take time to show their day to day. Management escalation is in the right direction for the firm.

      Cons

      Assuming same across all banks but if you can't be vocal then you can't shine or show case your competency. Also the request for transition into new work or groups is hard. This road block can force people to leave the firm. Although if you stay with the group, you can gain a team lead or promotion opportunity, but I personally can't perform the same function for years on out.

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
