Pros

Work with very smart people. My direct PM was actually very good to work with but the overall environment was extremely cutthroat and unforgiving. The name carries a lot of respect within the industry.

Cons

High stress environment. Everyone is expecting to be on call all the time. Sundays are supposed to be spent writing weekly updates and catching up on research. Teams are essentially competing with each other so there is no collaboration. A lot of self-centered people. Compliance scare is making the company bureaucratic and difficult to work in.

Pros

You get to work with amazing people - best in the industry. Everyone (well almost) is sharp, reasonable and pleasure to work with. One learns a lot. Fast paced work environment. Some people burn out and leave, others adjust. Pay is good and benefits are great.

Cons

Many groups are working in silos. No way around this though.
