Pros

Great opportunities to get involved, 'nice' people--everyone is willing to help you learn. Diverse work, and plenty of opportunities to develop marketable skills. Great firm culture. Pretty good hours. Solid training program.

Cons

Bureaucracy and size of the firm. Can be tough to find information that you need. Can be tough to communicate with people at times. Micromanagement.

Pros

Biggest investment manager in the world. Nice name on the resume. Good to start a career in early twenties. You will get the responsibility if you ask for it.

Cons

Worst to work if you have a family. Very long hours and unrealistic expectations. No team sense. Very individualistic employees competing for the yearly bonus. Lots of back talking.
