      Dynamic environment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people and work ethic. Interesting projects and drive. Young dynamic teams, and experienced senior management. An interesting cultural dynamic. The office is well positioned in London and a great design. Not far from the river too, yet not in the absolute depths of the city.

      Cons

      US firm, so hours and expectations can be high. Though compensation was good, healthcare is excellent and other benefits are well in line or exceed other companies. At the time I was there. Some management are driving very hard, and don't quite realise the burden on the junior employees. I guess normal in IBD culture. But it's a shame as it doesn't seem to be part of the initial intention. The growth was fast and was not able to sustain a balanced and positive working environment.

      Pros

      excellent place to work. great people. results focused. great culture. Compensation is at market or above.

      Cons

      focused on profit generation so probably better come in here at more senior level - not super focused on training resources.
