      Pros

      Great teamwork atmosphere and camaraderie amongst team members!

      Cons

      Long hours but that is inherent in industry. They could do better on the diversity front, but are taking it seriously.

      Pros

      Resume building experience for when you go somewhere that actually values your intelligence / contributions to the firm's overall success

      Cons

      Compensation is a joke - sweaty work environment & tireless hours makes your pay more similar to that of a food service professional at McDonald's. Sexist, homophobic, and racist senior bankers make up the majority of management and regardless of how many cases HR gets they won't do a singular thing. Firm is all about virtue signaling. If you're an aspiring politician Jefferies is for you. If you don't get the right people to like you in the first 3 months for whatever arbitrary reason they've assigned like maybe a rich, influential parent or a stereotypical profile consider your deal flow and bonus bucket to be a bust. You'll spend most of your time baking off for subpar deals.
