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

It's a world class organization that looks great on your resume and you interact with people from all around the world in your job.

Cons

Senior management didn't seem the most competent at times, they worked under the fear that they may lose their job and this was before the recession. Preference is given to some employees who enjoy the benefit of two hour lunches.
