      Pros

      Entrepreneurial environment. I believe that a lot of the success that people achieve at Jefferies is due to the "seat" they are in/boss they have. If boss is willing to invest in you, great. If not, it's easy to get lost there.

      Cons

      Many people take individualistic approaches to their jobs; corporate culture lacking a true sense of teamwork. Encountered internal obstacles where people in other divisions would not respond to emails/phone calls. Overall lack of general business etiquette.

      Good place for Seniors not for Juniors

      Pros

      Company has a good reputation. Worked with many go getters and intelligent people in a relatively good environment.

      Cons

      Management happy to keep qualified juniors in roles with little responsibility. As a result juniors receive little to no training or guidance. I don't like commenting specifically but workflow certainly wasn't increasing in the business division i was in while i was there, this was inline with many other investment banks. In my opinion opportunities in these institutions are becoming smaller and smaller. Probably not as good a career path as it once was.
