Pros

not many now a days, they are ripping first year analysts off, not much upside in working for barclays capital or group.

Cons

they bucket analysts together, so no room for outperformance, only mildly. HR is not very helpful, very annoying with their programs.

Very focussed on asset management and restricted to certain asset classes depending upon the business unit you work for. Transition between units is difficult.
