Pros

- Benefits and pay are very generous, hard to beat - One of the most respected names in finance - Close interaction with senior mgmt, some teams have excellent mgmt - Free breakfast, lunch, dinner, cell phone and gym reimbursement, other perks

Cons

- Many demoralizing teams and managers, lots of internal politics, not a surprise there is an extremely high turnover rate - Culture has suffered heavily in recent years - Internal systems are outdated, though improving - Lack of work-life balance depending on team - Roles aren't initially made clear to many, leads to higher turnover and other problems, make sure you know what you're signing up for
