Pros

Fairly easy to move around in company and acquire new skills. Looks great on resume. Training is available you can take advantage of. Great place to work if you can "build and leverage relationships" well.

Cons

Corporate culture here is intense and very conformist. Politics are important here. Very hierarchical. Extremely competitive environment. Salary is not as high as other financial services companies in NYC.
