Pros

The firm is number 1 or 2 in most of the businesses in which it operates, giving its employees access to the most sophisticated clients,significant deal flow and unmatched internal resources.

Cons

The downsides are well publicized: a behemoth of 250,000 people sometimes uncoordinated, sometime competing against each other, and (so far) lacking the internal risk control necessary to keep our heads above water when things get tough.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
