Pros

- good salary, employee benefits - company reputation - stable work, if you have the chance to get hired

Cons

they have "an army of interns" to exploit, prolonging internships from 6 month to 1 year and a half, with no particular interest in hiring them afterward; during the internship they assign intern-specific well defined tasks, instead of being focused on training them for the analyst profile, thus, after spending 1 year as an intern you may well be not suitable for an analyst position.
