Pros

Well-run and efficient, for a large corporation. Great work/life balance and a focus on results. Very competent people throughout organization. Excellent benefits and facilities.

Cons

People often get promoted to management roles because they're good analysts, not because they'd make good managers. Some people make have ethical qualms about working for a company whose primary line of business is sub-prime credit card lending.
