Pros

You can learn a lot if you care to, there are many people that dont want to learn outside of the their daily process, so one can stand out by taking interest in the overall bigger picture.

Cons

Job consists a lot of data entry and not much analytical work. Outsourcing has taken away many of the fundamental tasks needed to build a conceptual foundation of fund accounting/custody banking.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
