Pros

Great at the job perks. Good benefits. Lovely offices. Free Bloomberg terminal. Quality of life is high because most of the work is pretend - hit your metrics and you're fine. It's sad that's the best I can do.

Cons

No career trajectory. Caste system based on longevity. Everyone is punching the clock, don't expect anyone to work hard. Scared management that has no strategic outlook, their primer concern is appeasing their bosses. Surprising that people who have been successful other places don't have conviction to be bold.

Pros

Meritocratic company. Direct communication with management, a place where you start doing the job you want first, then you can actually get that job if you do well enough. Fair compensation, good benefits.

Cons

Cons are the same that exist in every single big company, i.e., flexibility is not the same as you have in a smaller company, and decisions may take some time to be taken.

Pros

They have the best healthcare and employee benefits, with access to some of the best resources to advance your career. The HQ building is beautiful in a prime location with nice fish tanks and tons of food, oftentimes hosting cutting edge events. The perks of being an employee are truly top notch (e.g. museums, discounts).

Cons

Can be Big Brother-ish. You have to use the ancient-looking Terminal to do conduct all business activity (somewhat of a learning curve). Lots of bureaucracy and useless middle management to "track projects and progress." Insignificant or non-existent promotions/salary increases. The fear of Tom Secunda is laughable.
