Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation and the company put a lot effort to build culture

Cons

The IT infra continues to be chaotic. Incapable product managers who are short of foresight due to wrong background hold positions and waste resources on mediocre projects which are rather for the visibility and their job security.

Pros

Benefits and Pension only nothing else

Cons

No sense of team, community, belonging, penny pinching, wasteful, no one is looking out for you. Too many theifdoms duplicating the same purposes. Cottage industries, death by powerpoint and execution by excel.

Great place for learning and for CV but serious cultural issues

Vice president

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to learn how to navigate a large corporate, with associated politics. Some very smart colleagues around. Bonuses can be meritocratic and rewards performance for more valued employees.

Cons

Political and slightly work-shy attitude of senior employees, which unfortunately helps you get promoted as opposed to being good at your job. Putting in extra effort is often frowned on as naive and a poor use of time (i.e. not viewed as advancing your career). Very top heavy and a lot of deadwood at Director / MD level who regularly come in late, simply do not show or more commonly, do little work but manage well upwards. Particularly prevalent in some Structuring and Risk departments. Pay is good on entry but does not reward loyalty; generally no pay rise without promotion and pay rise on promotion is small (5-10%) unless you are counter-offered. Generally career progression of employees figures low down on managers' priorities as the culture emphasises self-interest, especially given the recently dwindling bonus pots.
