      Pros

      High pay scale for new employees. Not the biggest attraction for talent so they have to pay-up.

      Cons

      If you do get a job there, you will not be having it for too long. Desk does very poorly.

      Pros

      Pays well for someone right out of undergrad

      Cons

      Sell themselves as a flat organization and different than other investment banks in terms of respecting your work/life balance. They are no such thing. Just as bad (and if you include the below the street pay and exit opportunities they are worse) as any investment banking gig out there

      Poor staffing and resource management

      Pros

      There are some driven motivated and intelligent bankers who you can learn a great deal from.

      Cons

      Some of the team members are very poor managers and do not take an intelligent approach to the pitch generation or deal management process. The high attrition rate of employees reflects this shortcoming.
