Pros

Stability, great benefits, good work life balance, great building, cool culture- every is young and has a lot of energy. It's a fun, social environment

Cons

It feels like college again, with all the metrics/testing- not a good determinant for quality employees. Management is very hit or miss; should have more flexibility and not be so micro-managed. Everyone is from a no name school. Even senior management; people are too complacent here. Not enough room to grow, and the pay sucks.

Pros

-You will learn the markets and market players (concepts, roles, etc) -Human capital of various backgrounds/education/experience -Benefits package is very, very good -Brand name will not hurt your resume -Open culture/transparency(literally glass walls) -Free food -Amenities are great -Provided training on many various realms of finance -During the recession, the worry of unemployment never crossed the mind

Cons

-Though you learn the markets and market players, you yourself are not a market player -Considered by the street as, and I quote: "Used car salesman" -Compensation is comparable to a UPS truck driver, but inflated with "certificates" based on a proprietary model that no one understands (Ref: Glassdoor UPS Truck Driver) -Too much transparency -Culture of passing it off to the next guy -Lack of professionalism -Micromanaging down to your daily schedule

Pros

Very good benefits offered by the company. The pantry with free food and drinks is a nice benefit to have. Hours are not bad.

Cons

Managers are usually chosen via a brown-nosing contest. Very little commendation for jobs well done. Pay is low for cost of living.
