Pros

Within IB IT, the company various teams work together as one bank helping each other.

Cons

Like many investment banks, most senior management over IT does not have an IT or engineering background. They don't invest in IT systems or IT people as much as many younger and more high tech banks.

Pros

The culture is the best of European and American business culture it seems. I feel as though the company works for me and am very happy to work for us as a result (that wasn't a typo). Management and support areas are lean, but still effective - it feels like a much smaller company in terms of the problem solving and empowered cogs that run an adroitly effective machine.

Cons

Client user interface is outdated versus competitors, but not for long. The fixed income desk is not as skilled analytically as the group at Morgan Stanley where I was for nearly ten years prior.
