Business outlook
Pros
Great reputation and prestige around the industry. Incredible knowledge of colleagues and managers. The potential to grow and advance here is much greater than you might find in other firms. If you are a hard worker and willing to put the time in, you can move up the ranks. Positive environment, and also huge stress on work-life balance, which is great. Vacation time is great compared to some competitors.
Cons
Potentially long hours. Many people in application pool (particularly in New York), which makes it that much harder in landing new positions, promotions, etc. Make sure to do things to make yourself stand out if your interested in climbing the corporate ladder.
