Business outlook
Pros
Prestige, status, future opportunities abound, gaining knowledge in your field, good connections within the industry and parallel industries
Cons
Zero work-life balance, arrogance of senior management and most of those in positions of power, unrealistic expectations of employees (worse in some departments vs. others, IBD is particularly heinous for example), feedback on performance is not communicated effectively and managers who are attempting to communicate performance are by and large incompetent, they likely have earned their position by attending an ivy league school that the hiring manager shared as an alma mater, not by merit or tenure.
