Good reputation and company, good to start your career there
Pros: - Many interesting people to work with
- Good place to start your career
- Interesting to see and learn how one of the best investment banks work
- Reasonable benefits
- Looks great on your CV
Cons: - Tech and processes are very slow and outdated in most parts (although way ahead of other banks)
- Way too much red tape around processes that could be easily automated. Your performance suffer because of that
- Very slow adoption to new technologies (always behind)
- Pay is lower than market average
- Very slow in releasing and planning products
- Too many unnecessary meetings and delegations between teams (could be drastically simplified)

Advice to potential candidates (tech savvy people who want to learn/grow): its a good starting place and great opportunity to see that beast from inside, but I won't recommend staying for too long as you can start to become a tech dinosaur (market moves x100 faster than processes there).
