Pros

Benefits are good if you have worked there more than 2 years and are grandfathered in the old plan. Flexible working and working from home has finally arrived at the Investment Bank. People are nice. It's a friendly place to work. Salaries are average with the industry.

Cons

Technology is shocking and very behind other banks due to lack of investment. Cost cutting has been too severe, constant changes in mgmt decisions and failed location strategies has caused talent to leave. Bonuses are below average.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
