Pros

Free lunch at the cafe. Remote working possibilities, although remote being increasingly discouraged. Reasonable expectations of work hours, work load.

Cons

Jefferies tells all their recruits about how being smaller than the bulge bracket firms allows Jefferies to be more nimble with less bureaucracy and less politics. This is completely false. The politics, bureaucracy, and lethargy of the large banks are just as present, if not worse, at Jefferies. Management changes in technology have been for the worse. The new upper management hires are arrogant and have poor listening skills.

Pros

Supportive firm-wide culture; competitive pay; surrounded by some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.

Cons

Like most banking jobs, incredibly long hours. Group specific: culture can be poor / not well supported, poor organization / staffing at group level.
