Business outlook
Pros
Prestigious name brand and great learning experience. Vikram Pandit seems to be working hard to turn the company around and if you can survive the cut off, it's a great place to learn about the markets. The atmosphere in the Private Wealth Management division was not too cutthroat and as with most places, there are sociable people as well as the few bad apples.
Cons
The culture has an "every man for himself (or every woman for herself)" mentality so if you want a collaborative atmosphere, this isn't the place to be. As with all banks right now, they are in an unstable state so that's also something to keep in mind.
