      Good for seniors, not great for juniors

      Pros

      Very relaxed environment, nice group of people. The CEO is invested heavily in the equity of the business so interests are very clearly aligned with the success of the business.

      Cons

      For senior employees there's the opportunity to make good money though funding costs are v high compared to elsewhere. For junior employees (VP and below) it's not at all a meritocracy, no matter how good/awful you are, you will go up a level every 3 yrs.

      Pros

      The people are really friendly and easy to talk to, great working hours. Most people who have worked here, have been working at Jefferies for a long time.

      Cons

      There isn't necessarily the best place if you are looking for progression and to be challenged.
