Pros

Analysts and associates get great deals experience and often exit to PE funds and often battle tested

Cons

High turnover and poisonous culture; most lateral hires VP and above leave within two years: pay is fickle and one can get zero’d any given year. Lack of industry coverage and depth- firm has terrible reputation on the street dating back to Berenson Minella days

Pros

The culture at Berenson is incredibly supportive and genuinely collaborative. Teams work seamlessly together, and there’s a real sense that everyone is invested in each other’s success. The workload is dynamic and engaging, offering plenty of opportunities to take on meaningful projects and grow professionally. The team will support you both personally and professionally. Berenson encourages you to take on new projects that allow for career growth across multiple areas. You’ll take on more projects and expand your expertise.

Cons

You should expect to work overtime occasionally and be on call some weekends. This is simply part of investment banking and the nature of the industry.
