Pros

In most of the departments, work with one the best team in the industry. One can learn and grow very quickly. Compensation is the highest in the industry, provided you work for revenue-generating divisions (Equities, FICC, IBD or Merchant Banking). The much publicized focus on team work is indeed very true. It does not only apply on your local coworkers, but also globally with other teams in other locations working in the same area. From my experience, other firms are a lot more fragmented.

Cons

Probably the long hours, but that is a common theme in the financial industry.

Pros

They will be the first bank to free themselves from TARP. You need to find a holding pattern until things rebound. Best of what is left. the ranks are thinning out, so it will be easier to move up.

Cons

long hours. partners are the ones who make it big.
