Pros

The company is active in it's mission to deliver ethical client service and become a more inclusive environment for its employees. They offer excellent bonuses and profit sharing to employees.

Cons

While being a meritocracy environment, in some roles, there is no clear career path options aside from jumping departments within the company. The lack of internal educational opportunities and requirements for particular knowledge relating to departments makes even lateral moves difficult for seasoned staff.

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.
