Pros

training about investments is superb at the entry level people are generally smart and accomplished

Cons

extremely inconvenient location mediocre pay for investment professionals (much better pay for everyone else relative to industry standard) stunted career path no personal time constant surveillance/paranoid security culture of fear and badgering people into agreement with senior management serious kool-aid factor management overconfident in themselves (have large problems they have not solved in years but confident that using their same approach will work to solve these problems)
