Business outlook
Pros
world beats a path to your door since it's one of the biggest banks in existence; great training ground and place to learn how a big company works; very capable executive team; good bay area location; some highly talented people throughout the ranks (but a lot of deadwood as well).
Cons
political; very fragmented with warring fiefdoms; cutthroat; weak middle management; too hard to get things done; very weak technology organization (especially in internet group); too much bureaucracy; incremental thinking instead of innovation; need to build a lot of consensus among warring stakeholders in order to get any project moving forward.
