Pros

If you're interested in creative finance and valuation models and deep diving into Blooomberg for information, this isn't a bad place

Cons

Other reviews have characterized Duff as a sweatshop, and they are spot on. Pay is not competitive with the market, something the firm fails to acknowledge Long hours are expected, but many could have been avoided with competent leadership that can clearly articulate strategy, agenda, and deadlines rather than running the shop reactively as the status quo Peers don't act professionally. Everyone seems keen to interrupt what you're working on because they see their project as a higher priority.

Pros

- Work/life balance is good - Pay is not bad but could be better, but who doesn't feel that way. - Work with very smart and talented people. - Opportunity to work at other locations - Ultimately it is what you make it! And also the division you work in. - You are given the opportunity to work with Directors and MD's, but it's not to take for granted. You need to ask questions and show interest, then you'll start to make an impression. - Weekly meditation is something to look forward to depending on your workload.

Cons

- Analysts do have get stuck with the grunt work, which is expected. - They don't pay for parking which is a little less than ideal depending where you are located. - Pay could be better - More PTO wouldn't hurt

Great Company for Career & Experience

Business Outlook

Pros

Great experience, generally good people to work with.

Cons

Compensation structure is black box. Compensation too heavily weighted on salary and not enough bonus, resulting in low disparity in total comp between best performers and worst performers.
