Pros

No doubt, pay is slightly higher than the rest. Good benefits on leaves, medical coverage and etc. Good name to put in CV

Cons

Poor middle management as the focus is only to get all the things done, they should also focusing on employee's career advancement, professional growth and work life balance. Well, i guess it's very much depends on who you're working under.

Pros

They are doing a fairly good job of integrating Lehman into their culture. The transition has been long and ardous, but they are ultimately making strides to becoming one of the best banks on the street.

Cons

Little recognition for middle management. Not as agile as Lehman, and people don't seem to have the same desire to effect change.
