Pros

I didn't like the place, and didn't spend enough time to find any pros.

Cons

I will cut the chase and list the departments to avoid. Avoid any position is GSS. They do bad research using tech infrastructure from the last century. Avoid any "Portfolio Management XXXX" positions. You will be a slave working unnecessarily long hours with no clue of what you are doing. Avoid IT because you won't find any inspiring colleagues. Job is mundane and support for the most part of it.
