      Don’t work here if you have other options

      Pros

      Global organization leads to cross border collaboration with diverse teams. Experience working on cross-border M&A transactions. The company enforces a mandatory 2 week vacation period each year where you aren’t allowed to login to your computer.

      Cons

      Very weak investment banking practice and minimal deal flow (especially in M&A), yet analysts and associates are still working 80-100 hours every week. Inexperienced, incompetent mid-level bankers. Terrible technology. Terrible company culture (especially in M&A group). Extremely office politics. No concept of work/life balance.

      Pros

      Genuinely nice people work all around me.

      Cons

      Management will place self-preservation above all. Will step over everyone's head to get to the top. The difference in communication between superiors and staff is stark and evident. I was forced to teach people in a different country who ultimately took my whole department's job. Degrading and unethical bottom line thinking.

      Pros

      I’m not sure what to say ... decent pay .. good medial ...

      Cons

      Not considerate especially when you are sick .... manager calls you to come in on your sick day or refuse to pay you .... if you don’t make your goal you will be fired and the cold calling sucks.... we all have the same leads to call ... so 5 people calling the same customer and then the customer gets annoyed ... the system is the worst ....
