Pros

Work with very intelligent, highly motivated individuals and you get exposure to some of the biggest companies in the world

Cons

For a junior banker in Investment Banking coverage for every live transaction you do be prepared to work on 15 - 20 pitches which are equally as demanding as an actual transaction but not very interesting at all.
