High stress, high reward
Pros: To use a sports metaphor, there are only a handful of financial services firms that would be considered the "The Show" and JPMorgan is definitely one of them.  Very smart colleagues, very competitive, good compensation.  There are many executives to learn from and grow.
Cons: Work life balance is an after thought.  Famous quotes from managers, "there is some else right behind you if you don't want to do the hours and make the commitment";  "that's what Saturday is for, to see your family"
