Business outlook
Pros
Incredible exposure to market makers and VIPs. Opportunity to develop first rate contacts, analytical, and storytelling skills. Working in a small bureau like NY or DC for such a huge organization means you'll wear many hats and have lots of opportunity to fill out your resume and even appear on camera from time to time.
Cons
Top down decision making style means you won't have much input/ it won't be necessarily expected or wanted. Expect to work long hours and weekends occasionally. Don't stay too long if you can avoid it, because there is no upward mobility. If you do decide to work there you should be planning your exit from the moment you start the job.
