Pros

-Base compensation is in-line with the industry. -Equity Sales force is excellent at getting analysts in front of investors

Cons

-Ibankers are terrible and lack basic knowledge of their industry, at least in the sector I covered -Due to the above the firm is left out of deals with companies where research has a good relationship -Given the weakness in banking, bonus pool is subpar -Technology investment is abysmal and the lack of investment reduces the productivity of the work force. For example, I still had Excel 2003 in 2013 and my job was to model in Excel. I had clients who couldn't open my models because our software was so old. I had another client poke fun at how ancient my laptop was. Its a broker/dealer, the aim is to impress the buy side. -Small US employee pool has lead to unsatisfactory employee health care benefits

Pros

*Good colleagues (the ones who actually work, and are not busy kissing their bosses' behind).

Cons

*Very poor salary (considering billions in profits) *Team Leaders are horribly under-qualified, only way to move up is if you do a lot of sucking up. Qualifications don't matter. *In SSG (Royal Direct), Team Leaders follow you to the bathroom, follow you on your breaks, ask overly personal questions, and are all on major power trips. *They have a special Team that is managed by a Team Leader who is responsible for firing as people as possible from that team. He or She is rewarded for terminating these positions. *Advisory Group is especially useless, don't waste your time. *Benefits suck - $50 per pay cheque is not a good deal. Just making insurance companies richer.

Pros

Growing company that has a great vacation policy

Cons

Aggressive culture that does not promote talent appropriately. Management is out of touch with many employee issues, it often loses talent. Most employees feel lost within organization.
