Pros

Good WLB, more job stability than tech companies. New grad analysts protected from layoffs

Cons

Below market pay, lots of office politics (not skill based promotions), work is often disengaging, old tech stack, not an engineering culture. 2 year rotation for new grads is too long, and not great for learning
