Solid brand but big bank politics are not a fun game to play
Pros: Strong marketability; clients are well known and interesting; compensation is adequate; the firm "lets you out of the cage" quite often with vacation/personal/sick days
Cons: Advancement requires some luck with hard work and making friends with certain people but discounts sheer hard work and creativity. 
Big bank politics and varying conflicts of interest can make managing a career difficult. 
Stuffy culture.
