Pros

takes quite a bit to fire people, you can slack and do nothing and it will take a few years to fire you

Cons

over 50% of Executive Directors don't have more than 1 direct report, but the requirement to be an Executive Director is to have people report to you, people who are strong individual contributors are not rewarded when they work more than some EDs who got the title as a stroke of luck since they treat people differently.

Pros

Large company offers many different career opportunities; dynamic work; allows for remote work arrangements

Cons

Very political environment and people don't always interact honestly. Seems a perspective that one person's success is built on another's detriment.

Business Outlook

Pros

You are well remunerated and there are opportunities to move globally

Cons

Open bullying on the floor, abusive e-mails and sexism. People progress based on the cliques they have formed rather than merit and normally people who are intelligent such as Portfolio Managers and Analysts are treated badly by less educated sales staff. Very unprofessional environment with no one taking ownership. Racism and backstabbing not uncommon. HR is very inefficient and they have no interest in dealing with the issues. This is only an observation for the Asset management division in Sydney. The investment bank is known to be a more professional environment.
