Great place to work

Pros

Been at Jefferies for 10 years. Fantastic close knit culture. It’s an agile place with a can-do attitude. Working here means you develop broad experience in your specialist field...if that makes sense.

Cons

Because it’s a small place, we tend to hire very senior people and opportunities for growth are in some ways more limited that at larger institutions.

Too many leeches (over paid staff)

Pros

Great if you make it into the “inner” circle.

Cons

Too many politics, too many MDs who are over paid. Lots of Sr staff who generate 0 revenue but enjoy the benefits being in the “inner” circle. Others who never reach their target budget but are still paid a high salary.
