Pros

From what it seems there is good deal experience for all analysts at all levels, nice office, nice to work in the consumer/reatail industry.

Cons

Poor management - even thought the founders may have been good bankers... they maintain a poor management style on the company. Very cheep company - salary promotions and bonuses are often put on the back burner due to deal volume.

Pros

Great deal flow and lean deal teams lead to some great deals to work on. You get exposed to top global brands, PE firms and management teams. When I was there the firm was really top heavy but it seems they have solved that problem.

Cons

Most of the deal flow comes from the Founder. It limits the growth of the firm and since he is so busy, he is unable to really manage his top people or support their growth.

Pros

Fuad is excellent at his job, but it’s obvious he doesn’t care about lower level employees. He markets the company like it’s a family but it is not.

Cons

Divided sr team - your life will either be great or hell depending on who you’re working with
