Pros

Generally friendly colleagues, smart people in research and portfolio management, decent training programs, good entry level positions, and accessible senior managers.

Cons

Subpar equity performance, staff doesn't challenge existing practices or old traditions enough, have become complacent in some areas, firm always reassure staff they are the smartest on the street, and there is a large pay gap between junior and senior members (i.e. 50-80k for junior members and 300k+ for some VPs and nearly every SVP - avg pay is around $260k all in).
