Pros

One of the most prestigious investment banks in the IT area to work for. Relatively high-end software development. Higher management is willing to invest in technology. Relatively good peer-to-peer relationships (of course, that varies from team to team, department to department).

Cons

Still lacks organization and structure of the leader in the industry/field. Real teamwork/efforts is not stimulated (read: enforced) enough to provide for the environment where the above will be inevitable. Politics takes over competence more often than is unavoidable.

Advice to Management

Clean up and review. Develop not only a new strategy but the whole approach to creating a truly efficient work environment where it would be impossible for a manager to 'hide' a talent, and everybody's performance/results would be visible and objectively rated.

Good luck!
