Pros

Good compensation. Food is provided. Can move up the ladder. You can learn a lot. Awesome location.

Cons

Toughest work\life balance I've ever experienced. You're pretty much on email all week long. Long hours in the office. Most people are rude and think they are very important. No respect at times and try to push you down. Need to have a very, very thick skin.

Too often we have way too limited time to deal with the required asks - Type A Personalities throughout the firm in all departments and at all levels. Need extra thick skin to survive here
