Pros

-Good professional development -Depending on which area in finance you are in, good work/life balance -Internal mobility is fairly good and people get to move to other areas of the bank

Cons

-Some areas of finance work very long hours -Job satisfaction isn't all that great, nor rewarding at times -Lehman/Barcap integration - still feels like two different firms in a forced marriage; culture clash -Lack of teamwork and sense of one firm; seems like everyone for themselves
