Pros

Great view from the trading room. I was only there a year before I was laid off due to lack of business, but the staff and managers are friendly.

Cons

Not much interaction between co-workers there. Everyone in their own little world. I guess this is ok for some. Departments are split up. No sense of community.

Pros

Entrepreneurial environment. I believe that a lot of the success that people achieve at Jefferies is due to the "seat" they are in/boss they have. If boss is willing to invest in you, great. If not, it's easy to get lost there.

Cons

Many people take individualistic approaches to their jobs; corporate culture lacking a true sense of teamwork. Encountered internal obstacles where people in other divisions would not respond to emails/phone calls. Overall lack of general business etiquette.
