Pros

Open culture, growth opportunities - especially outside of the US

Cons

Work life balance can take a hit, investment banks in general have been very badly hit in 2008 and not as attractive as previous years

Pros

In current environment, not likely anyone will by the investment bank, so as a company less worry of mass layoffs due to merger (once "final" round of layoffs are complete). Still has strong equities, tech IBD areas. If you live in southern CT, it's nice to live near work.

Cons

Slow decision making, very bureaucratic. Outside of core areas (front office, IBD) or key enabling functions (finance, risk) limited career options, esp. difficult to move across functional areas.

Pros

A good place to learn the business of financial services, particularly from an operational standpoint. Lots of different areas of opportunities due to the size of the bank.

Cons

The pay is sub-par. Career advancement can be difficult in some areas. To advance in your career you have to be very selective in which part of the firm you work and willing to change locations.
