Pros

Loads of opportunities. People are really nice and helpful. Everyone is performance driven so make sure you're good enough. Its unlikely you can waffle your way up to management.

Cons

Currently the reputation has been baffled by the financial crisis. In my opinion, this is absolutely unfair and the financial crisis really hasn't only one or two organizations to blame.

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.
