Pros

Good vacation days compared to other entry-level jobs. I got 17 vacation days and 6 sick days.

Cons

I worked here for 2 years straight out of college (Ivy League) and was enrolled in one of their analyst programs. This program was misrepresented on college recruitment presentations and made much more glamorous than it actually is. Most of us were placed in positions within the firm that required the intelligence/ability equal to that of the highschool level. You don't need a college degree to do 99% of the mundane work...at least not an ivy league education!

Pros

Opens. A lot of doors, a huge bank with real mobility. Great especially if you are young. And very global, which is exciting.

Cons

Can feel uncompetitive towards other bulge brackets at times, especially vs JPM, service and ops is incredibly painful, almost feels like you have to leave and come back to get paid market rate if possible at all. Its also IB vs everything else makes the bank feel two tiered.
