Pros

Good first job out of college with a 1-2 year learning period.

Cons

Company moving towards a world where junior associates, senior associates and research managers are meant to crank out as much work as possible with management knowing that they will burn out and then be replaced. Team Leaders and VPs have largely been grandfathered in; many of them are poor leaders who benefit from the work of those under them in salary.
