Pros

International experience, good professional development opportunities and exposure to international finance, private equity and VC capital. Relative job security compared to private sector.

Cons

Nepotism at is best, too much internal politicking. Lower quality professionals acting as the "super child" of the investment community, even though they are not. IT manager, unaware of using winzip, investment professional unable to do a discounted cash flow are all here.
