Pros

Opportunities to gain a lot of knowledge related to the business of asset management. Good pay and good benefits. Lot of talented people.

Cons

As with all companies there are a lot of incompetent people in senior management. How they got there is a mystery, and is perhaps attributable to the tremendous growth the firm had between 2005 and 2008.
