Don't know much about them so my opinion doesn't mean much, but I think they are viewed as second tier banks in the US

Can only speak for SG's markets: extremely French (literally >80% on the floor) so can go a while w/o hearing English, good platforms for accessing research for development, known for low pay, tend to see good exit opps to other banks/HFs as they're very good at the few areas that they're good at (EQD, EMFX, structured products)

Pretty shit across the board and low pay

I've heard that you still get the mandatory 1/2 weeks off even in the US tho!

2 weeks mandatory vacation every year for everyone doesn't suck. Team spirit is good. Pay is below average, but you can stick around as long as you want if you are decent performer.

I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
