I spent 10 years at JPM Chase where I worked in 5 different roles. Department head and Program/Project Manager
Pros: I personally had a great deal of mobility. On the flip side, I had no choice because my position was eliminated, or I had completed a large project. I enjoyed working with very smart co-workers. Hard work and a focus on meeting your commitments will go a long way.
Cons: Some managers like to micro-manage their teams. Reviews and inter rankings are very political. Global departments tend to be the worse offenders (New York vs. London).  Work life balance is mostly negative, but it all depends on your role and your manager. Projects and initiatives tend to managed by crisis.
