Pros

Bank has started to compete with the bulge brackets.

Cons

Where to begin... this bank has a terrible culture and completely disregards the well-being of analysts/associates. I have even heard managing directors joke about how they overwork and do not know the names of their own employees. Absolutely no career development/mentorship. Everyone is out for themselves. Managing directors consistently lie to clients (this is very well known on the buyside).
