Pros

In terms of financial benefits, the firm is focused on providing a decent overall package. The size of the company makes it a stable environment. And if you want a career in the financial sector they are well known.

Cons

The area of the business I worked in was subject to frequent adjustment and change. Due to the complexity of the business, you do have to be adaptable and ready for regular change. It's really up to each individual to decide whether this would suit their character, before applying for any career role.
