Pros
The majority of the reviews on here seem fake so I felt the duty to actually give an honest review. Pros: the firm is global (following a series of acquisitions) They do get some big interesting projects, but these are rare and you will end up working on small insolvency projects churning through filling in forms and other menial tasks mainly (you will not develop here)
Cons
Extremely overworked, investment banking hours are expected and there is very little support from management who are equally overworked Pay is significantly below market Bonuses are nominal at best, annual pay increases far below even moderate inflation No structure to promotions, which take longer than bigger firms despite the pay being lower at every grade. However if you’re one of the favourites of the partners then you will be promoted (even if less qualified) Despite the firm being global the U.K. company very much still acts as a standalone entity, with the old MCR dinosaurs maintaining the last century attitudes
