Avoid the TMT Group - especially in New York City
Pros
As you can expect they have some smart analyst, some of the VPs are nice, and Directors were good as well.
Cons
This is one shop you should avoid at all cost if you just got an offer coming out of undergrad or business school. The head of the group uses fear to 'motivate' people and belittles people due to his own insecurities - you won't see that while they try to sell you on the company. Many people have quit or changed groups to avoid him; even his most senior staff need to pretend to get along with him. There are a couple of people that because they're good at their job, they keep them around but are horrible to work with (Fin-Tech). Run for the hills. This place will give you PTSD if you stay too long. Experienced some dislike and I assume it's because of my cultural background. They hire lots of wealthy conservative southern white men who haven't had many interactions with people from diverse backgrounds. Take that as you will.
