Pros

Probably get more modeling experience than you would at other banks. Nothing else I can think of at this time.

Cons

Cold environment - people don't say hello or even acknowledge each others' presence. Disorganized managers create unnecessary work and constant fire drills. Senior bankers act like independent contractors - no sense of team cohesiveness and in many cases they don't even know the juniors' names
