Pros

Smart people are all around, and this is motivating. It is heard of that people get some great bonuses, depending on the group.

Cons

Ridiculous work hours. 5-10 years of experience you'll make in the high 90's to low six figures plus 15-25% bonus for a typical person with a finance degree, possibly even an MBA. Divide that by the constant 55-65 hour work week, and that puts you at $40/hour, which would equate to $80k for a 40 hour work week job... So, meh, pay not so great, add a commute in and basically you have no life.
