Best place to work is in the UK department wherein you get appreciated for the work you do.

Pros

Decent experience, learn a lot in short amount of time

Cons

Group leadership turned over 3 times in 3 years. Only 2 or 3 analysts became associates, most left to join other M&A groups or go to PE Everything about the group is kind of a joke, mostly pitching and few deals, no leadership, zero mentor-ship except by other analysts/associates Pay consistently below mkt with little differentiation regardless of work amount or quality

Pros

Good pay and benefits, ability for a number of positions to work from home on a regular basis.

Cons

Company is cost cutting all over the place and offshoring jobs and outsourcing. Hectic work load and schedule, mixed messages from management, constant change of direction. U.K. management out of touch with what is going on with North America operations. Execs out for themselves.
