Pros

Extremely talented, visionary management team. Strong brand and reputation in financial services industry. Competitive compensation packages and opportunity to take on significant responsibility if you are a strong contributor.

Cons

Promotions can sometimes be dependent upon the initiative of your manager, rather than on merit. I often saw weaker performers with highly proactive managers climb the ranks quickly, while extremely talented individuals with less interested managers tended to stagnate in their current roles.
