Pros

The advocacy for work-life balance is astounding, especially when compared to my erstwhile employer (IB division in a commercial banking behemoth). Front-to-back systems is top-notch, meaning analysts / controllers can go about doing their proper jobs and value-add, rather than do systems patch work. Also, the organisation flow is very flat - and there is great openness and direct conversations had on many a subject (hence, little risk for corporate, interneccine toxicity)

Cons

Very calm. Almost too calm. Then again, that's not an issue now, is it??

Pros

The group that I work with is very competent. I expected corporate atmosphere to be somewhat hostile. Instead I learned how laid back and welcoming this atmosphere can be.

Cons

There is not that much advancement for interns. It is a very cut-throat business and it might be very hard to start up.
