Pros

Great brand name on your resume, so its a good start for a career. The benefits are pretty good. If you are in technology, there are plenty of smart people to learn things from. The hours are decent for me.

Cons

The compensation is less compared to other wall-street firms. The management is not very efficient and it seems that they don't feel its important to keep you updated on the changes in organization structure etc.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
