Pros

I liked most of the people. However, I've heard from friends that are current employees that the culture has gotten worse: more cut-throat, less friendly.

Cons

While I had a good experience I witnessed many situations where sr analysts would overwork and berate their associates.

Pros

Supportive firm-wide culture; competitive pay; surrounded by some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.

Cons

Like most banking jobs, incredibly long hours. Group specific: culture can be poor / not well supported, poor organization / staffing at group level.
