Global bulge bracket IB Good to get experience at a junior level Global network able to be leveraged on both a regional and a local basis

Cons

Negativity sentiment towards the brand as a result of GFC Poor management performance at all levels Overly rigid process of reporting through NYC - lack of regional autonomy Promotions based on ability to "brown-nose" rather than any inherent capabilities - in fact often it was the reverse Lots ot pitching, not enough live deals Excessive in-fighting when it came to revenue allocation as it drove end of year comp reviews

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
