Pros

Best place I've ever worked. Enjoyed most of the people I worked with. Compensation and benefits were good. Company affords people the opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities, particularly compared to many other investment banks.

Cons

Brand recognition is not what it is for other firms or what it could/should be. It is unfortunate, because I've worked at more "name brand" banks where the people were highly incompetent and where the work was poor - at RBC the brand recognition isn't as good, but I felt the people and the work we did was significantly better than at other "name brand" banks.

Pros

Stable platform due to parent company, so less concerns about being layed off. In research, broad industry coverage and senior analysts are reluctant as they know as long as they do a decent job, they will be compensated well. The associates have little to no room to grow unless in rare cases, analysts are fired, and even then it is unlikely that associate gets promoted. Not the same stress and hours of bulge brackets and is likely what makes people stay around and build longer term careers there (again, referring to more senior analysts).

Cons

At the lowest-end of industry compensation. Research associates make $75-85k with ~$20k in bonus.
