All that glitters is not gold
Pros: There is a certain prestige working for a recognizable global brand. This can work to your benefit in some circles. Good "3rd" company to work for (i.e. work at JPM, then leave, then perhaps return to JPM with a better sense of market value)
Cons: Since everyone is clamoring to get in and work for a recognizable global brand, they're (aware or not) willing to forgo much more competitive compensation. Base pay is stingy; "meritocracy" is not what it seems, and you have no leverage as an individual to take anything other than whatever is given to you. Don't get too comfortable, 2-3 years tops and then leave to sell your self to a higher market-value bidder.
