Business outlook
Pros
- High deal velocity provides ample opportunities for personal development. - Senior management team has been consistent and predictable; during downturn, very few people were let go, as management took a long-term view - Platform growth provides room for upward career progression
Cons
- Like any investment bank, work hours can be brutal - Some mid-level bankers (lateral hires), still learning middle market (vs. bulge bracket) territory - Some elements of the workflow are non-value added, and could be eliminated to improve the lives of the junior team
