Jefferies reviews

Where to begin... this bank has a terrible culture and completely disregards the well-being of analysts/associates. I have even heard managing directors joke about how they overwork and do not know the names of their own employees. Absolutely no career development/mentorship. Everyone is out for themselves. Managing directors consistently lie to clients (this is very well known on the buyside).

- Poor communication between MDs down the chain, resulting in VPs and SVPs creating unnecessary and time-consuming work - Virtually no client interaction for junior team members (associates & analysts) - Lack of mentorship / leadership from senior team members to analysts - Waste time on unrealistic pitch ideas to legacy leaders while failing to identify promising lower-profile opportunities for future deal pipeline - Human Resources for Investment Banking unhelpful - when employees bring issues to their attention, HR has often blamed employees instead of exploring issues raised - Homogenous workforce with little to no attempt at improving diversity
