AGC Partners reviews

Got my foot in the door in investment banking - but no one knows what AGC is so it doesn't really help Some senior management was great, others were most definitely not Fridays you leave work early to go to an open tab at a local bar

AGC is a typical work hard, play hard environment where your growth trajectory is completely your own. There is a lot of oversight and even some micromanagement when you start off, but being a 20-something out of college you really can’t expect anything less in a high pressure environment where the learning curve is steep. My advice is to push through, earn the trust of the Partners and colleagues quickly so you can gain more autonomy / responsibility on the entire deal lifecycle. The no task is too small attitude, that AGC teaches you, sets you up for success within and beyond AGC as you transition. - Volumetric business model = lot of deal flow = a lot of learning = accelerated professional growth - High level of exposure to Partners / CxOs of clients / BoD members = ability to have meaningful conversations with veterans in the industry - Openness to let you dig in and own the work - Work across and within verticals to gain broad and deep sector familiarity/knowledge - Collegial environment and people first culture; no reluctance on mgmt.’s part when you have to take time off / extremely fun annual and semi-annual outings and dinners - Little emphasis on face-time (except for weekend hours, which too has become considerably better in the last few months); this doesn’t mean you can slack off, but rather the focus is on the work getting done and done well with hours at work being only a secondary concern - Pretty good work-life balance for an investment bank that close 25 – 30 deals on a yearly basis
