Pros

Big established company with good compensation level and nice potential for carrier advance. It used to be very friendly toward it's IT staff. The place was a technology leader in financial sector. Unfortunately, the respect for IT is deteriorating.

Cons

You work 24x7 in highly stressed environment. Corporate politics at any level can be brutal. You either have to go up or be eaten by peers.

Pros

Good money, great place be if you are very career minded. Lots of very intelligent and hard-working people that you can learn from. Not too much corporate bullcrap - for a company of 50,000 strong, its remarkably nimble.

Cons

Work-life balance is hopeless, this is no different to any other US investment bank however. If you are a geek that just wants to play with computers this job will not be for you, as MS expects business-focused people in all support jobs. And never forget that those that make the money, rule the roost. Most of these complaints can be applied to other investment banks however.
