Pros
Smart people, truly some of the best in the industry. Pretty good pay for being straight out of school, especially given the hours (compare to banking). Depending on team (and this really depends), may be given good work, not just analyst grunt work.
Cons
Pay doesn't scale to effort and can leave employees for want of meritocracy. For those not in revenue-generating roles (investment and trading), "meritocracy" is subjective. No incentives for mentorship, so this often goes by the wayside; no comparison to tech and consulting where you have assigned mentors to look after your advancement.
