Pros

not many now a days, they are ripping first year analysts off, not much upside in working for barclays capital or group.

Cons

they bucket analysts together, so no room for outperformance, only mildly. HR is not very helpful, very annoying with their programs.

Pros

The remuneration is relatively good and it is a good place to start just for the brand name on your resume.

Cons

There is little opportunities for career progression and growth. Management is not interested in grooming talents/leadership from within. There is a lack of direction in terms of leadership. Important changes/news within the firm are not conveyed until the eleventh hour. Politics is rife and employees are treated as pawns of the firm. You are hired, at best, as a well-paid production-line worker. ' Do what you are told and don't question too much' seems to be the way to live if you want to stake out here for long, otherwise, your frustrations will one day kill you. It is no wonder that the turnover rate here is high.
