Pros

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

Cons

Don't care about interns - hours end at 6 but you obviously stay later - workload is ridiculous - and the company doesn't tell you that you can expense dinner Everyone in the office is a bro - diverse employees are forced out Make female investment banking interns intern for multiple cycles before extending offers CEO performs interviews while driving, on the phone, eating, etc.

Pros

Lots of small deals, office is centrally-located in Boston, ability to communicate with clients from very early on, impressive collection of Phish shows on the gym's drive

Cons

A reverse-pyramid organizational structure (as many or more partners than junior bankers combined) that leads to in-fighting among partners for junior staff, very poor communication from the firm's top management, extraordinarily high turnover, few experienced junior bankers, lack of a formal training program, junior bankers are under-trained in relevant financial concepts, poor pay/incentives, zero work-life balance, unyielding senior management that refuses to change long-standing internal processes and therefore compromises efficiency, virtually non-existent Human Resources department, limited access to necessary research databases, and an overarching culture of fear and distrust. The Company picks up "cigar butts" of tech deals.
