Pros

opportunities to get lots of responsibilities and exposure to clients (I was meeting with company managements and large hedge fund clients with 2 months I joined)

Cons

the management teams are exceptionally talented and knowledgeable industry analyst that do not have enough time to manage and lead as managers rather than industry experts

Pros

The compensation is fair with what the street pays, and as with most big companies there are opportunities to move internally. The benefits are good.

Cons

Hours were long and there wasn't much work life balance. Also, compensation was not looked at across groups and so there was some inequity between groups in how people were paid.
