Pros
Strong deal pipeline growth and focus on fast growing tech and healthcare sectors. Relatively flat hierarchical structure that allows for strong communication across all levels and ensures seamless cross border deal execution. Good team values and culture with rapid career progression opportunities across all offices. Salaries are in line with market and bonus is above average but subject to performance. Overall great team to work from analyst to partner level.
Cons
Working hours can be long but that is the norm across investment banking! Analyst program and cross office exchange are currently not available, but are currently being implemented alongside a market leading talent retention program. Senior decision making on operational issues can sometimes take longer than expected but this is due to ongoing rapid growth and a new structure across the firm has improved this significantly.
