Cons

Toxic culture Horrible work hours (7 days working, 80-90h a week) Extremely unadjusting seniors

Pros

Supportive firm-wide culture; competitive pay; surrounded by some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.

Like most banking jobs, incredibly long hours. Group specific: culture can be poor / not well supported, poor organization / staffing at group level.
