Low staff morale, lazy people who don’t take ownership of their work, low internal salaries vs external hires, quantity over quality staff, uninspiring bosses, negative vibes, too bureaucratic, promotes employees who know how to play politics to get in boss’s good books over intelligent productive employees

Pros

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
