Pros

Great benefits, free snacks, beautiful new building with great views and the people are great.

Cons

The turnover rate is about three years, the pay is just okay and there is no room to move up if you're an assistant. They don't train the assistants or challenge them and you feel as though you're stuck.

Pros

Great deal flow. Get to work on some interesting deals and you will learn a lot as a new analyst or graduate. Firm has some amazing senior bankers who are really good at what they do. There's room to develop if you really want to do it. But i can't speak for experienced roles / hires.

Cons

Office politics don't matter as much as an analyst but it's certainly there and you'll notice that. Work could be a lot sometimes (benched marked against investment banking standard) and middle mgmt. is pretty weak. And there's no incentives to fix that because it won't affect topline.
