JPM
Pros: Well-run business; strong and deep platform. One of the survivors who will come out with a stronger market position out of the downturn. From a prestige standpoint, continues to rise and is now clearly in the top 3 overall, and continues to gain momentum. Jamie Dimon is one of the best leaders in financial services, and in business in general.
Cons: Can get lost in the shuffle -- there are many, many cogs in the wheel. Like any investment bank, there are long hours involved and high demands in short timeframes. While generally very professional, it is nonetheless more of an up or out culture.
