Business Outlook
Pros
The company is getting more prestigious, especially after its acquisition of Lehman Brothers. Pay is pretty good as well. There will be good exit opportunities. The people are also generally nice - management has a no jerk policy.
Cons
The firm still has not found its culture. It really depends group to group due to the small size of each group. Job security is also at an all time low - they recently laid off 3000 jobs. Hours are extremely rough although they vary from group to group, which is to be expected in the investment banking industry. Hours for banking probably average 85 hours a week.
