Pros

Decent pay compared to market

Cons

Used to be a great place to work; no longer value hard working employees and partners only care about their distributions and the bottom line. Will ride you to the top then take credit for your work and output. CFO is out of touch with employees and has zero respect for the "little people." Company has really declined over the past couple of years. Stay away

Pros

Great deal flow. Get to work on some interesting deals and you will learn a lot as a new analyst or graduate. Firm has some amazing senior bankers who are really good at what they do. There's room to develop if you really want to do it. But i can't speak for experienced roles / hires.

Cons

Office politics don't matter as much as an analyst but it's certainly there and you'll notice that. Work could be a lot sometimes (benched marked against investment banking standard) and middle mgmt. is pretty weak. And there's no incentives to fix that because it won't affect topline.
