Good place to start your career, but need to get out before they deem you "expendable"
Pros: One of the few banks still around. When you start your career here, it's great because you will learn a lot. The bank is humongous so you can leverage many resources the company has. People you work with are very good at teaching you the ropes. You are judged against very high standards, so you end up working very hard.
Cons: Too big; easy to get lost in the shuffle. When the round of layoffs came, the process was very political. If you were aligned with certain MDs or EDs that got let go, you were also in trouble. It was less based on your performance.
