Pros

If you enjoy working in a corporate atmosphere and want to continue to pursue a finance field, the opportunities might be best at least to start in this company. After one or two years, you can move on to a better company. They do have good structure and company organization.

Cons

Opportunities to move up are not substantial. There is a good ol' boy network. There is almost no diversity. The meetings are terribly wasteful. This company does not like it when employees have a personal life. Women taking maternity leave often do not return, and if they do, they eventually quit because having a family life outside work is frowned upon.

Pros

Very bright forward thinking people. They want you to succeed and advance in the company. I worked as a regional consultant and the opportunity to move into the field as an external wholesaler was available if you are a solid presenter and have a good knowledge of the markets and products. The best way to suceed is to make management aware of youre accomplishments on every occasion. This means pulling calls and sales discussions that went well and sharing them with your manager. Also getting in early and staying late are encouraged. Finally having a working knowledge of your competitors.

Cons

Lots of competition and hard to seperate yourself from everyone else at the company

Pros

It's a good place to start your career due to the reputation of the firm. The people that work there are very talented, coming from some of the best universities and companies across the world.

Cons

Company culture is still in the 20th century, and the company is very hierarchical. Limited access to the company's research, not ideal for career advancement, and little enthusiasm in the office.
