Pros

Little known value investor with top decile long term track record. Great culture, good people. Recently moved office to New York.

Cons

Ian Cumming no longer involved. Merger with Jefferies has caused some integration issues. Losing some of the original Leucadia culture.

The people are really friendly and easy to talk to, great working hours. Most people who have worked here, have been working at Jefferies for a long time.

There isn't necessarily the best place if you are looking for progression and to be challenged.

Pros

Good people, thin layers of management (but getting thicker). Good platform with lots of potential if it were managed better.

Cons

Punitive clawback policies for bonuses on cash business dis-incentivises and dilutes what is supposed to be an entrepreneurial environment.
