Pros

Rigorous training, smart people, the brand name. Can be quite unfriendly, competitive and cliquey. In some departments your well being completely depends on successfully ingratiating yourself various people.

Cons

Can be difficult to maintain work-life balance. Expected to produce excellent results yet appear as if making no effort at all.
