Pros

The firm is number 1 or 2 in most of the businesses in which it operates, giving its employees access to the most sophisticated clients,significant deal flow and unmatched internal resources.

Cons

The downsides are well publicized: a behemoth of 250,000 people sometimes uncoordinated, sometime competing against each other, and (so far) lacking the internal risk control necessary to keep our heads above water when things get tough.

Pros

- Opportunity for Mobility and career growth, cross functional collaboration, global organization - Amazing mentors, colleagues and collaborative mindset - Volunteer Culture

Cons

- Mobility can be challenging w/o a sponsor. - Depending on departments, fast moving and may impact work-life balance. - depending on the team, you might encounter micromanagers or teams that may be selective with mobility. Though inevitable in some instances, if you are aware of team dynamics and team culture, employee could mitigate or manage/avoid this risk.
