Pros

Large organisation, better work-life balance than in other investment banks, pay is OK, though never on the high end, well improved brand in recent years.

Cons

Lack of communication between senior and junior staff, complete ingnorance of junior's problems and requirements. Room for improvement in communication between different business units. Careless towards clear career progression planning and feedback / reviewing. Not very friendly atmosphere generally.

Never come. All the positions and all area is same terrible. HR official turnover rate reach to 15%, some core hard working positions even can be a higher rate

Cons

They don't respect employees, there's a suit in New York area initiated by previous bankers in 2023. Because they asked for a lot of volunteering work on formal job but never pay
