The work can be dull and repetitive, but you now have JP Morgan & hedge fund experience on your resume...not a bad start
Pros: The reputation and notoriety, good benefits package, cool people, opportunities for advancement (in JP Morgan or elsewhere).  While I don't think fund accounting is necessarily all that exciting of a field in general, hedge fund accounting is supposedly a lot more interesting.  Speaking to JP Morgan in general, I'm incredibly impressed by the handle on risk management and integrity.
Cons: I've heard it described as a "white collar factory"--perhaps not a bad term for it.  Much of your day is spent doing fairly rote work, sitting at a cubicle by yourself.  That said, each person is accountable to a team so it isn't completely devoid of interaction and collaboration. And look elsewhere if you want exams like the CFA/CPA covered--for such a prestigious firm, it is pretty surprising that they won't cover these certifications automatically.
