Pros

Used to be because it was a small and growing company.

Cons

After Lehman acquisition, not anymore. Morale is low in many departments. Lots of Lehman legacy people sitting around and not doing anything.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
