Pros

They allow junior employees to take on responsibility and get hands on experience. In other words, you work hard and credit is given to you. You may be the most junior in the team but you still get to face clients immediately when you're in front office. You're not just assisting the head of the team.

Cons

Politics. Wonder what senior management have in mind and whether they truly understand what is happening on the ground. The 'team' culture is not that strong either. It is good to be self motivated but most of the time, its better to work together with your team mates instead of trying to outshine everyone else. The event or client etc is more important than trying to show off to others or claim credit.

Pros

Good compensation package and some of the smartest and best people in the industry. There was always good collaboration between each department, and managers are humble enough to listen to each and every employee as if all were managers. There was almost no way to tell that managers were above other employees, and despite treating others fairly, they also were able to lead by example. The environment though extremely professional, also had a casual air about it and that helped reduce some of the stress from an already extremely stressful job. It also seemed extremely easy to switch from one department from the other, such as from HR to trading access products on the equity derivatives floor. There were numerous meetings to review and praise each group about profit and success.

Cons

Very long hours, and at times when work just piled on (Summer credit crunch) it seems that no one was really able to take a break. Some of the trading and marketing desks seemed to be understaffed as they would almost always have to work over 14 hours a day five days a week, which made middle office have to stay even longer.
