AGC Partners reviews

I have been with AGC for over two years now, and I can confidently say that there is no other firm where you will receive the same level of exposure and autonomy this quickly out of college. With nearly 40 junior bankers and 20+ partners, the direct insights we receive and relationships we build are unparalleled. The volume of technology-focused M&A and growth equity advisory allows for fast-paced live deal experience, which every banker knows to be the best part of this job. AGC’s lean deal teams – typically 1 analyst, 1 project manager (associate, VP, or principal), and 1 partner – allow for tremendous responsibility and growth, especially for the junior team members. In my experience, the most rewarding and valuable aspect of being a banker at AGC is learning, building, and driving the client relationships. As you become a more experienced analyst and certainly as a PM, you are often driving critical discussions with both clients and buyers alike. There is simply no other job in which you would be ready for such a vital role in advising key decision makers this quickly out of college, and it’s because you get to watch and learn from the best. AGC turns smart and aspiring young professionals into warriors who dominate every aspect of the job. Finally, the culture section of AGC’s website is no joke. We certainly operate under a work hard / play hard motto. While the job requires a serious time commitment, senior management constantly seeks to make a more enjoyable work experience through amazing company bonding experiences such as ping pong tournaments, boat cruises, golf tournaments, Patriots/Bruins/Red Sox games, and even trips to Bermuda, New Hampshire, and Miami.

I worked at AGC for a little over two years, and I am extremely grateful for my time at the firm. AGC has taught me more technical communication, and overall business skills than I possibly could glean from any other source. Coming out of college, I wanted to join a company where I could learn from the best, work hand-and-hand with clients, and have a strong voice in the firm's workflow - AGC has all of that and more, coupled with great company culture. At the firm, I had the pleasure of working with Partners that have been in the technology field for the better part of 20+ years. As a result, you're able to quickly garner critical skills such as market analyses across a wide range of sectors and company analyses to see if a product is actually mission-critical. AGC is also a great place to craft your client management skills. As a junior banker, you are often on (or driving) calls with senior management of your clients. The interaction quickly builds up your business communication skills that wouldn't happen at other banks where you are buried under layers of Directors/Principals/VPs. Lastly, AGC is on an upward trajectory due to its great quality of listening to new ideas/ways to manage the day-to-day deal workflow. In addition, the firm does a great job of listening to the pain points of junior bankers, and they actively work to alleviate the points, making for better homeostasis.
