Pros

Top notch and dedicated coworkers. The firm is well positioned to handle the current crisis, despite the recent fall in stock price. Overall compensation is strong. Management supports movement within the firm. Work and life balance seems fairly strong across the firm, although long hours can be expected in most positions. Opportunities for advancement are plentiful, and hard work seems to be well rewarded. Top management is well respected, and has a great deal of experience.

Cons

Hours can be somewhat longer than at peer firms. Base salaries may not be as high as at some other firms. There really is not very much to complain about here.
