Firm Prestige

We all know certain parts of high finance do God's work, whereas others, not so much. I am currently in a BB and am trying to laterally move to another BB that will offer a more gratifying job. However, I know people that are pushing the following firms:

Fidelity, Schwab, TD Ameritrade, Fisher Investments, Northern Trust

How prestigious are the firms in terms of recognization/respect, exit opps, pay, etc.?
