Pros

Great momentum for the firm since the recession in 2008. Picked up many talent along the way and is a fast paced firm.

Cons

Lack of work life balance. Different position within the investment banking industry being in the middle market space. Working on improving the position though.

Pros

Junior level employees given lots of challenging and meaningful work. Great exit opportunities. Excellent opportunity to work with intelligent and driven people.

Cons

Long hours as an analyst, but doable. Limited deal opportunities due to smaller balance sheet, but that is changing quickly fortunately.

Pros

Jefferies' investment banking franchise is fast-growing and well-positioned for the future. If you want to make a career in investment banking, it's one of the best places to go.

Cons

Work/life balance is nonexistent. If you want to be an investment banker, be prepared to regularly work 100+ hour weeks and not take vacations for a year at a time.
