Pros

Small firm, you get to know everyone there, challenging but not cut throat.

Cons

Lack of benefits, terrible claw back meaning perpetual servitude, no growth, lack of controls, many things get slipped by. Constant laying off and rehiring at junior levels. If you are idiotic and follow orders, this is the place to be now a days. Just shut up and work, dont speak out to make changes and you will do fine. Titanic mentality doesn't get you far. 401K? compared to the industry or larger firms, Jefferies can't compete.

Pros

Some great people to work with

Cons

Little opportunity for organic growth. Firm is known to hire externally and overpay for questionable culture fit as long as they bring in big business, which doesn't always work out.
