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.
