Pros
Pay and benefits are great right out of school, opportunity for raise after every program rotation, mentoring and review feedback great, knowledge sharing very important across the businesses
Cons
Healthcare policy - now basically like car insurance with the lowest deductible over $500 (they make up for it by shoving healthy living down your throat to avoid getting sick) NO Work-life balance in finance... for at least the first 5-10 years. Prepare to be single until you are 30. 12-hour days are not uncommon at all for FMPs and FP&A analysts. They claim to support family life, but the pressure to be in the office crazy hours and/or to be on your laptop at home makes getting away from work nearly impossible. I've heard people get divorced over the phone in the next office, people cancel family vacations at the last minute, people who's elementary kids have been at a different school every other grade. Relocation is required throughout the program, and afterwards most analysts are promoted every 1.5 - 2 years and often have to move. So even if you do manage to have a personal life, it better be a mobile one.
