Not too bad
Pros: - Working with really smart people
- Steep learning curve in the first year, great exposure for someone fresh out of college
- Great platform with a lot of opportunities for transferring within the firm to other departments
Cons: - The hours.  Forget about weekends and friends.  You will be in the office all the time, and pulling all-nighters is nothing novel at the IBD
- When there is no deal flow, there will be a lot of pitch work to be done that most of the time will lead to no actual deals
- It's all about the money and not much else.  If that doesn't sound too bad to you, then it's a great place to be
