Pros

- good salary, employee benefits - company reputation - stable work, if you have the chance to get hired

Cons

they have "an army of interns" to exploit, prolonging internships from 6 month to 1 year and a half, with no particular interest in hiring them afterward; during the internship they assign intern-specific well defined tasks, instead of being focused on training them for the analyst profile, thus, after spending 1 year as an intern you may well be not suitable for an analyst position.

Pros

The work environment was quite nice to work in, people were helpful and you could alway ask them for info.

Cons

Other analysts did not really care about you (damn silly intern who was here only because of stringpulling but could not do anything to offset this stringpulling). Also suffered they from an inferiority complex, always feeling looked down at only because you graduate from a top-tier school. The company also has not a "sexy image".
