Pros

The pay and benefits are great.

Cons

Entrenched bureaucracy - middle management is duplicitous - the political environment is uncomfortable there. The ceiling for advancement is dependent on department, but most hires are internal lifers who lack external chops and the usual politics with allies/favorites can be expected. From 2017-2020 I witnessed three separate rounds of relatively large layoffs.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
