Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Senior

Good firm, but too much politics. Pretty good work/life balance
Pros: Work with smart people, one of the best Investment Banks. Solid risk management in the IB ( CIO was another story but this is now resolved ).
Pay is pretty good.
Work life balance is quite good compared to many other IBs
Cons: Far too much politics and groups working for their own interests rather than the firm.
Huge amount of resources wasted every year on useless projects promoted by people with a personal agenda.
Being recognised and promoted often has little to do with real work produced and a lot more to do with self marketing.
