Pros

Benefits are decent, most people are nice

Cons

Your experience will vary widely depending on location and role. Core support areas of the firm follow antiquated, manual processes. This results in being understaffed and over worked even though it is acknowledged how much work there is and how difficult it is to fill those roles. There is no real commitment to supporting those groups. There is also lots of pressure to constantly justify policy exceptions as long as it brings in money. Regardless of what the risk or ethics might actually be.
