      Very long hours and pressure but still great place to work for but you need to earn it with sacrifice and dedication.

      Pros

      Prestige. Very ambitious and smart people. Always things to learn. Thorough review system and career development/mentoring (as long as you keep your eyes open).

      Cons

      Very long hours and weekends even compared to other investment banks. Could get aggressive. (As with other firms) Tend to get political as you move up higher. Sometimes too much emphasis on the 'perception/image' rather than the actual outcome/impact.

      I worked in operations. My comments are biased towards that.

      Pros

      If you survive the intense interviews and pass the 10yr background check you might just get a job with a company that has come to be respected for its talent. The compensation is average to above depending on experience for my local area. They have excellent orientation and skill building programs. You will have a hard time finding better medical and vision benefits anywhere else. Just working for a company like this gives you a lot more credibility in the workplace.

      Cons

      In Salt Lake its mostly operations. The work can be REALLY mundane. Not really finance investing related work but rather just operations. The same kind of stuff you see on a factory line. (clip, snap, stamp, clip, snap, stamp, clip, snap stamp). Thats about it.
