Date: 2012-10-26
Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Confirmed

Long hours, good pay, too much managing-in-the-moment
Pros: * High compensation; how competitively depends on your specific role, location, etc, but largely quite compelling
* Mobility is encouraged (in spite of the occasional, albeit suppressed grudge from outgoing management)
* Very diverse workforce
Cons: * Work/life balance definitely a challenge for Investment Bank employees
* Current ranking system encourages cut-throat politics over genuine achievement
* Tendency to pursue bottom-line cuts vs. harder-to-prove ROI strategies that require more research and articulation
