Pros

Fair work/life balance at lower levels, though I understand more senior levels have less flexibility. Collegial with fellow analysts, systems that provide for some efficiencies of scale. Opportunity for my work product to have some vast impacts on products.

Cons

Lack of cultural investment in outside-the-box thinking and employee engagement. "Efficiency" as a buzzword for systematic removal of creativity. Highly controlled environment with emphasis on making every peg fit in the round hole. One way communication from management, lack of transparency.

Pros

Work life balance, freedom to explore other areas, generous vacation, good benefits, offices in downtown new york, reasonable working hours.

Cons

Very procedural by nature, not very open about structural changes, things communicated to every employee without much opportunity for two-way exchange.
