Pros

Some talented and clever folk, but impossible to achieve anything due to micro-management from Zurich. Office hours are very leisurely.

Cons

Terrible bonuses unless you are senior management or a big revenue generator. Poor morale (sadly), very little career path for those in 20s/30s, firm feels like it is dying by a thousand cuts.

Pros

Decent brand. The produkt offering is OK, but not great. IT systems are OK but their is a lack of digital strategy.

Cons

Their are much too many committees and a lack of ownership. Lack of vision on where to take the business and how. People operate in silos and are satisfied with the status quo.
