Pros

- Compensation is directly related to your performance. Work hard, get rewarded - Lots of opportunity for mobility

Cons

- Working in back-office operations, you sort of get sick of telling people you're not one of "those" who are making 600k+ bonuses. - Back office doesn't seem to hire as selectively as the front-office. You'll find a higher chance of working with folks you would least expect to work with at a firm this calibre.
