Pros

I've worked for four investment banks, Jefferies easily has the best culture.

Cons

The whole industry is over-regulated and pay is in a long term decline. Banks have to pay more for junior people to keep them from going to tech companies and they still have to pay the "star" bankers and research analysts top dollar, so everyone in between suffers in terms of compensation.

Pros

Supportive firm-wide culture; competitive pay; surrounded by some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.

Cons

Like most banking jobs, incredibly long hours. Group specific: culture can be poor / not well supported, poor organization / staffing at group level.
