Pros
Great job for new grads. Smart, social, good-looking people. If you're interested in the field or if you jive with the culture, it's great.
Cons
Whacked out salaries (first-year analysts making more than top-performing second-year analysts, etc). Bizarre all-consuming culture that everyone is obsessed with. People more concerned with their "career" than the actual work, which is often terrible and boring. More emphasis placed on long hours and completing stupid, useless documents than on working smart and getting out at a reasonable time. "Drive your own career" is nearly impossible in some spaces at the junior level- nobody cares what you want to do if it's even remotely abnormal. TOO MANY BUZZWORDS.
