Pros

Lots of live deals as Jefferies never turns down an assignment. So good experience but you get used to having your share of broken deals / time sinks

Cons

Terrible hours. Pitch for everything. Unreasonable senior banker expectations. Healthcare banking gets treated better than rest. Poor politics. Watch your back!

Pros

Jefferies provide a decent employer if you have already worked in finance. It is very risk averse and avoids even the most vanilla of derivative products.

Cons

Junior staff are paid relatively little compared to similar pay packages at investment banks and promotion is more weighted toward time served rather than merit. If you are a seasoned financier then you might do well if you can negotiate the extremely tight balance sheet requirements but if you are a junior then I would not make this my first choice.
