Business outlook
Pros
Aggressive culture. Jefferies has been trying to gain market share away from some of the larger players. They have been trying to hire away talent from some of the bigger shops such as UBS and Morgan Stanley by luring people with 2 year guarantees. Not sure if this model is sustainable if they don't generate enough revenues through these new hires.
Cons
Hours could be long. Sales can get demanding at times. Year end review process is relatively opaque. There is a push to get analysts II ranking, which means a ton of outbound phone calls (500+) every month. This activity among others is tracked internally.
