Pros

Environment is fast paced, fun, and classy. Everyone is smart and driven. I just did training, and it was long and hard. I think it will perhaps be harder than my real job. As compared to other financials, the pay was a touch lower, but the bonuses are promised to be bigger.

Cons

Long hours. Bonus is very dependent on Firm performance.

Pros

The caliber of people is the real reason you stay. Even after years here, I regularly sit in rooms with colleagues who are genuinely brilliant and, more importantly, generous with their time.

Cons

Bureaucracy and layers of process have grown as the firm has scaled, which can slow decisions.
