Pros

The scale of business is mind boggling. On the IT side you'll never see anything like it. Business highly dependent on technology.

Cons

The scale of the business and the speed with which change is expected to occur often mean that corners are cut and things aren't done 'by the book' - a very short sighted view in a business that's in it for the long haul.

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.
