Pros

As the industry got past its peak a long time ago, I don't find any pros for working for a big investment bank

Cons

Sub-par comp, mediocre managers and colleagues, favoritism, expensive health insurance premiums with limited coverage etc. The list goes on and on. Worst of all, there is no prospect for a better future, neither professionally nor personally.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
