Pros

There are incredible, bright people There are plenty of exciting challenges Great benefits, bonus, 401k opportunities, etc Honest desire by management to continuously improve

Cons

There are ... less incredible, not-quite-as-bright people The challenges are there because there's a lot of ancient cruft You might find higher base pay elsewhere Entrenched financial companies are conservative by nature and bold ideas are hard to shepherd into reality

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
