Pros

I noticed the firm is good with allowing employees to take time of for training

Cons

-I was in Credit Risk and it was the most boring job that I ever had -Weird British culture - certain employees feel that they could take credit for your work or that the credit should be divided evenly. In reality, these employees did not do nearly as much work as the others did on the team. -If you did a good job on a project that others lack the technical skill sets to complete and moreover, if your work is deemed usable by the team (speaks for itself about the quality), be prepared to be put down by jealous co-workers -Jealous co-workers will nitpick to find the smallest details that are wrong with your work and magnify them to make you look bad -Generally speaking, the technical skills(basic excel/Visual Basic) of AVP/above levels are slightly above zero -If you're a female, everything is a bit easier and people are less likely to get on your back about your lack of technical skills -EVERYONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE PAY
