Pros

Global invest banking is a very interesting place to work especially if you've never been to such place before. The salary is good and some feeling of stability is also nice.

Cons

Probably as an every other global organization there are certain problems with communication. This include team members from different regions communicating to each other, different teams around sharing knowledge, management sharing their plans for future. One person might have several managers all giving him different tasks to do and sometimes even not knowing that these things contradict each other. Traders are quite special people - sometimes hard to deal with.

Pros

Company size. Brand recognition. Back office support. Research is highly regarded and the pedestrian investor likes to see the company's floor trader appear every morning on CSNBC for market comments.

Cons

Until the bigger brokerages discontinue big payouts for producers to cross over, the otherwise highly capable advisor in training will be overlooked for the new advisors with the greatest asset connections. In this context, the favored new advisor is not one who shows the greatest investment intelligence, but the one with the greatest network of high net worth individuals as a engine for asset level increases.
