      Pros

      - Name recognition in the Chicago area - Chance to work with large clients

      Cons

      - Only concern for lack of any kind of diversity is that they get called out on it. Having to complete a webinar on the topic doesn't cut it. - Lack of innovation. Poor technology. - Overly hierarchical and old boy clubs mentality. - HR is only there to support the status quo. Don't go to them with issues or there will be consequences.

      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.
