Pros

- People. Unquestionably a significant number of smart, thoughtful, and driven people - Comp and ben is some of the best in town - Corporate amenities (day care for the kiddos, gym, dry cleaner, company store, etc) are really nice to have - Can get a highly diverse set of experiences

Cons

- Overall reported results continue to be poor, morale still feels low following the well publicized layoffs, and the new structure is experiencing growing pains - The 're-wire' of certain functions and roles seems a bit ill conceived and in many cases is actually causing the org to be less efficient and effective (not to mention making the work less robust and interesting which is a drag on morale) - Career progression can be extremely slow within finance - Despite attempts to improve, it is still a VERY difficult environment for external hires to break into and move up in the organization
