Pros

The pay and benefits are great. The people are great

Cons

You'll get stacked with tasks and not get compensated for them. Overworked. Some of the admin managers are very micro-managing. I left because it just became a toxic environment and HR was not supporting me

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.
