Pros

Company is truly led by visionaries. Leaders are focused on where the financial market is headed and decisions are made accordingly. It is a large organization, but you feel like you are working for a small company because management, even the most senior leadership, make an effort to know you as a person. Work life balance is great.

Cons

It is a highly political organization and as such promotions are based on who you know and a tap on the shoulder.
