      Strange Environment

      Pros

      Probably get more modeling experience than you would at other banks. Nothing else I can think of at this time.

      Cons

      Cold environment - people don't say hello or even acknowledge each others' presence. Disorganized managers create unnecessary work and constant fire drills. Senior bankers act like independent contractors - no sense of team cohesiveness and in many cases they don't even know the juniors' names

      Pros

      I liked most of the people. However, I've heard from friends that are current employees that the culture has gotten worse: more cut-throat, less friendly.

      Cons

      While I had a good experience I witnessed many situations where sr analysts would overwork and berate their associates.

      Pros

      Gives you exposure and c-level interaction early on. Culture is good

      Cons

      There is a disorganized structure and lack of communication within the firm.
