Pros

Willing to sponsor a visa

Cons

Poor management and bad culture, worse in certain offices versus others. The firm has expanded rapidly since inception, but there is a very high turnover as the good analysts will ultimately leave within ~2 years. Almost no one has commercial or trading experience therefore it is difficult to actually learn as an entry/mid level employee (although that will be the pitch used to get prospectives on board). All analysts are expected to act like reporters, with emphasis on quantity/speed rather than quality. While publications used to be an industry favorite, popularity has gone downhill specifically in the last year over bad calls and subpar analysis.

Pros

-Generous paid leave and insurance coverage -Mentorship can be good if you have a good manager/team, but this isn't structural -Good coworkers who are willing to help -You learn a lot: work is intellectually demanding, lots of industry exposure, sink-or-swim environment does build resilience and skill, but most places with that kind of pressure at least pay you for it.

Cons

Culture: Public shaming around mistakes, which can breed a culture of self preservation. Clear favoritism dynamic: Favorites get the client meetings, speaking opportunities, and promotions. If you're not a favorite, your mistakes are treated as a character flaw rather than normal learning moments. Career growth: Visibility, development opportunities, and exposure only somewhat linked to merit. You get the growth if you're a favourite, you get a glass ceiling if you're not. Proximity to power and who you are to them is very important. Personally my onboarding experience was also pretty terrible and disorganized. Compensation: Meh. can easily get more elsewhere, though paid leaves and insurance coverage are genuinely very good. Work-life balance: there is an always-on expectation. Boundaries are difficult to maintain.
