Evercore Partners Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Evercore Partners

Pros – Compensation is decent if you know what to ask for from the beginning - salary with overtime, bonus minimum, etc.
Benefits are competitive+

Cons – - EXTREMELY poor HR department though recent changes relating to HR management shows some promise. Change is slow.
- Fear of retribution prevents many employees from reporting unfair treatment or other issues.
- Very poor communication from the top to the bottom.
- Senior management at Evercore expects personal work to be completed by their assistants. This ranges from very small tasks to large projects dealing with family and outside interests. This work is sometimes personally compensated by the individual manager around the holidays but often times it isn't. Again, fear of retribution prevents many employees from tackling this problem despite being overtaxed and ethically conflicted.

Former Employee – worked at Evercore Partners

Pros – Prestiige of working at a mid town boutique investment bank. Compensation better than average.

Cons – If you are not a partner, you are treated like fodder. This is especially true for the support staff. At least the analyst have a chance at becoming a revenue producer, the support staff are treated like a changeable expense and often are. Beware unless you are a senior level banker.

Advice to Senior Management – It's a hard concept to acknowledge but there is work life balance for the support staff.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
