Pros
Potential to work on great deals with senior bankers with a wide variety of styles and MOs. Senior bankers can see what juniors are doing - opportunity to stand out (for good or bad). Mostly thoughtful staffing decisions.
Cons
A little light on back-office infrastructure and benefits compared to a bulge bracket or elite boutique. Wide variety of MD styles and MOs creates risk of getting stuck with the wrong one. Choppy growth. Buy-side recruiting is possible but needs to be managed very carefully depending on your situation.
