Pros

Fast-paced company with a huge investment in technology. I have had the chance to use a wide variety of open source technology to deliver projects. Very smart and interesting colleagues and an atmosphere that enables you to learn a huge amount very quickly. Big emphasis on technical and financial training, if you're interested in it.

Cons

Priorities can change quickly due to the nature of the firm - this can be a challenge but can also provide opportunities.
