Pros

Plenty of vacation days. Ability to network with clients and issuers (read: potential employers). Interesting co-workers.

Cons

Poor long-term career prospects. Uncompetitive base salaries. Disappointing bonuses. Limited learning opportunities (at least on the corporate governance side). Toxic atmosphere. Promotions/bonuses motivated by reasons other than performance. Talent or hard work are not appreciated. Low morale - most ISS employees are looking for a new job these days. Uncertain future.
