      A strategy that will backfire

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of enthusiastic people - and a lot of them quite young. They are building things for the future and so there is quite some activity.

      Cons

      But then you realize that the old boy network and mentality is still present. In this day and age is mistifying that this can still take place. I mean look how inefficient you can be and how many mistakes will be made by hiring people who have no knowledge of the business you are trying to build. Just because they are your buddies ? For gods sake there is one PM who was a HR person before now responsible your next trading platform... really ?

      A good firm rising to the top

      Senior vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is growing like a bat out of hell (i.e., 2008) -- though it actually avoided that carnage. Jefferies is growing in the U.S. and is now expanding aggressively into Europe and Asia. While some managers are merely competent, the better ones are sound, practical and run the company.

      Cons

      Things are happening almost too fast which ample opportunity for poor execution and operational error....so hold on tight.
