Pros

Smart people with a pleasant, congenial, almost intellectual culture.

Cons

No employee development outside of financial analysts. There's no excuse for that. There is plenty of opportunity to develop talent from within in the other lines of work there. It's like the company is adamantly opposed to doing so even when it's happening organically. Not even necessity can be the mother of promotion here.

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.
