Pros

At the very least the politics isn't as bad as other big banks

Cons

Most people are mediocre at best. The really good employees don't get the necessary recognition and very soon they leave for greener pastures. If you go above and beyond, you don't get more recognition, pay or promotion, you just get more work instead. The amount of performance bonus paid out is laughable - that is EXACTLY why there are so many mediocre people!

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
