Pros
Global brand recognised by clients and investors facilitating winning mandates over competitors Safe pair of hands in turbulent markets especially Europe Prestige Good learning ground for new starters
Cons
Not a great corporate culture. Way too much bureaucracy. Too many weak managers and mediocre senior people This bank is NOT a meritocracy so if you are mid level and bright it will be years before you are either promoted or properly remunerated. T/O of star staff quite high at present. Compensation and bonus pretty poor by market standards
