Pros

Good hours compared to other boutique Interesting clients - lots of entrepreneurs Not finance heavy at all, good for auditors/consultants wanting to make transition into M&A in a low stress environment

Cons

Not an investment bank - as such don't expect IB pay or bonus. rem ~30-40% below market, however, you're also working 30-40% less so take that into consideration. Culture is non-existent - No friday drinks, no celebratory dinners, team bonding non-existent hence why associate/junior tenure usually less than a year. No training whatsoever, upper management doesn't come from BB background as such they themselves are limited in what they can teach/share

Pros

Reasonable working hours. Very nice support staff.

Cons

Poorly aligned management team who can’t / don’t want to work together. Shambolic and erratic attitudes towards decision making... if any. Poor quality team across the board with little legitimate M&A know-how. Suspect a 3month intern at JP knows more corporate finance then these people.

Weak senior management lacking in basic leadership skills. Very poor treatment of staff and history of high turnover. Low team morale after covid layoffs and abrupt changes.
