A safe bet but you probably won't strike it rich.
Pros: Company is strong and growing.  Many opportunities to move laterally throughout the company and is a good place to start your career.   There is a job for every type of person here, from legal, to marketing, to computer science, to sales and trading.
Cons: There is a lot of bureaucracy which can be frustrating although that is true for many large corporations.  Your bonus isn't as influeneced by your performance as much as your line of work.  There aren't as many fringe benefits as other large banks.  Getting harder to get in the door starting out as an analyst since they are hiring so many people in India to do the analyst jobs.
