Pros

- great opportunities to live and work abroad (global network = global opportunities) - prestige of working for the world's largest bank (especially if you keep in mind they're way bigger abroad than in the U.S.) - good at attracting above-average talent - good benefits

Cons

- large number of employees means you sometimes get lost as just another number (often times no strong sense of community beyond work group) - seemed a little stingy on the salary side of things, especially with regard to certain positions - extensive management hierarchy means a lot of red tape and sometimes few opportunities to get noticed/move up
