Pros

Work/Life Balance - if you find a group where this applies, it's no longer a given. Vacation Time - generous vacation time and sick Location - conveniently located to all transportation Maternity/Paternity time off policy - generous

Cons

Salary - lower than other financial services firms Politics - very few people say what they mean and there is a strong passive-agressive culture Leadership - less of a meritocracy and more of a popularity contest, some leaders openly admit to not knowing what they are doing and expressing little interest in learning Benefits - very expensive costs for healthcare
