Pros

Very large financial group. Varied experience

Cons

Work! work!! work!!! for employees. Fine! Fine!! Fine!!! for the Bank. Need to work in hours starting from Hong Kong time to Chicago times. Managers expect work seven days a week. Projects are too aggressive. Management pushes unreasonable targets and finally projects get cancelled or not promoted to Production or undergo extensive changes. Always Damocles sword is hanging about moving position to offshore or outsource. Higher management does not care about employees. Management has made so many issues and keep paying billions and billions in every country. Sorry a bad employer!

Pros

Very diverse work environment, Was able to gain a lot of knowledge and skills to broaden the horizons for the future.

Cons

Very task specific, if you like data entry and sitting at a computer all day this is a good job.

Pros

A lot of freedom in your schedule Some colleagues are pleasant Enjoyed my first few years there Had a small pension plan

Cons

Pushing product became the name of the game. Didn't care about their clients Always had bad news in the paper which made you question the company. The brokerage arm was like the step-child of the bank. Bankers weren't properly incentivized to help drive investment activity.
