Pros

Really smart people that have long legacies, but they are only there due to golden handcuffs

Cons

There is almost no positive morale on the investment management side as it relates to how the organization is run. The economics are not shared how they should be at a traditional asset management organization and thus I see the incoming rotational analysts on the equity side essentially proving to be a rotating door. Maybe the senior lateral hires on the high end PM side get better incentives but the company runs the asset mgmt division like an insurance company

Pros

Great benefits and nice communication across different teams. Access to perks of a large company (HR support, benefits, PTO). Very established firm in the marketplace.

Cons

Slightly below market salaries and little room to negotiate upward, unless you change job titles. Some managers and execs can be set in their ways or choose the de-risked option, even if there are better or more efficient ways of doing things.
