      Slow to move but great place to work

      Human resources manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A place where many of your co-workers are actually your friends. Exciting concepts being introduced and cutting edge on benefits. Good pay when you take into account the generous bonus program. Ethical senior leadership with a conservative risk management strategy. I learned so much in my discipline but also about high levels of customer service and always putting the client first.

      Cons

      The decision making process is consensus driven, so it can take forever to get something done. It is very relationship based, so you need to invest a significant amount of time in getting to know your people and others you will work with across all departments. Having a great idea won't stand alone unless you have everyone's support.

      Good learning experience for juniors

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Deal teams are very small which is great for junior personnel, as you can take over a lot of responsibilities early on. Also, there is high exposure to senior personnel. Many direct interactions with Managing Directors/Directors internally and also direct client interaction on a regular basis. Even though the pay is average for mid-market IB, the bonus is all cash which is a big plus!

      Cons

      It's middle-market M&A Investment Banking, which is what they pay for. However, the work load is more like bulge bracket - For Analysts it is common to work 85+ hours per week. It's a good place to gain experience and exposure but for the long term there is not the right leadership to develop junior personnel into bankers.
