Business outlook
Pros
There are a lot of smart people who work there, you are constantly pushed to find the best in you. Also there is a lot of emphasis on generating revenue. Very meritocratic (within divisions) Very competitive compensation If you re very hard working and commercial there is much room for advancement. For sales and trading there are a lot of firm resources to "leverage"
Cons
Not much respect outsidde of sales and trading. Very difficult for qualified people to move into S&T from other areas. I don't think that the downsides are any different to anywhere else. Basically when you go there be sure that you will like your group and job function, cause it's unlikely you'll be moving.
