Pros

Fairly stable, growing company that is nicely distributed in nearly every financial product

Cons

Strong tendency to hire from outside rather than promote from within. Very uneven distribution of titles. Will have a hard time holding onto people once economy improves.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
