Pros: -Base salary is high vs. industry average
-Great place to start your career at (training, learning opportunities)
-Pretty good culture vs. other main industry players
Cons: -Bonus is too subjective and depends on many unpredictable factors
-Hours are long vs. industry average (11-12 per day for Associates; and higher for Analysts). You work like IB but get paid like PB.
-Too many politics involved instead of focusing on meritocracy; also, Management changes pretty often and each new manager wants to change something in order to leave his/her mark, which may not necessarily end up in a better outcome
