Pros: I've been contracting for Morgan Stanley for more than 5 years. There is no limited time to contract; other banks put some limitations, like 2 years. Contracts are for one year, and they normally honor their contracts and do not finish them early.
Cons: Contracting is tough to make a significant career (though this depends more on your manager). They normally prefer to promote and give more responsibilities to FTEs.
