Pros

While the work hours are long, even in difficult economic times you will be fairly compensated. While the defintion of 'fairly' has changed recently, they are stil ahead of the competition in realizing that they must retain their best people. I If you are aggressive and motivated you will succeed here. At the very least, it is a great place to start a career and looks great on a resume.

Cons

The hours are long. The compensation has decreased. There is not much glory or prestige in finance at the moment.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
