A great place to work

Pros

My colleagues - a great bunch of people to work with. The Principles guide employees to be very open and honest, and I found that to be very true in practice among my co-workers. It leads to an atmosphere where one can speak freely about their thoughts and ideas. I learned so much about my weaknesses and strengths at BW, and that made me a better employee and person. Managers are open about employee's strengths and weaknesses on a regular basis, and there are very few surprises at review time. The benefits - free meals and great health insurance. Great company events.

Cons

Not having more structured career/job paths for some positions.

A lot of self discovery

Pros

Actually friendly, supportive people. Folks do not engage in pissing contests like you see in ibanking / on wall street.

Cons

Not too many negatives I can think of. It's a tough culture (open an honest, etc.) but if you are ok with constantly getting feedback, it's a cool place to grow.
