Our people and our culture are two of the most important things at William Blair. We continually invest in employees, and have launched several new firm initiatives to further enhance our culture and employee experience. Thank you for your valuable perspective and for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
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.
