Pros

Big name on the street. Well-promoted and highly regarded. Good resume builder. Smart and eloquent people. Investment ideas well expressed and published. Above average pay and benefits.

Cons

Highly political environment post many acquisitions in a short time. Low retention rate. Nice people resigned for good. Long hours are expected by incapable management. Little guidance and poor infrastructure. Pay more attention to cost cutting than employee job satisfaction.
