Pros

- benefits - location of the Chicago office

Cons

List of my excruciating pains I had to deal with at the D&P Chicago office. I worked in the office, I was new to Chicago and I found this job through a recruiting agency. This company is all about your rank if your an EA you will be treated like a bottom feeder. In my opinion this isn't right. I wasn't an EA but based off my observation it's pretty bad. If this is your only options for income, my recommendation is that you just sit at your desk, type away, nod your head and job search in your free time. - Micro aggression are pretty common in the Chicago Office location among peers and management - harsh hours - poor management - salary rates are terrible - conservative work environment - cubicles - not a sociable environment - Favoritism among management and peers - Cliquish/felt like I was in highschool again - An environment where caste/religion/gender based jokes are made and laughed at - Conservative - Lacks communication - Work and Life balance is terrible - Sweat shop

Pros

I really liked most of the managers I worked with. I thought they were incredibly smart, willing to help, and overall nice people. I enjoyed the fellow analysts and I think if you are interested in valuation DP is a good place to get training and get exposure to different industries and different types of valuation. I've learned many skills and have become good at analyzing different data sets and financial modeling.

Cons

My biggest complaint, which you can see in many of the reviews, is that the company is paying below market rate. Also, if you are a top performer here and good at the job, your reward is more work until you are absolutely swamped. The delegation of work is with managers asking you to be on their projects, where you are expected to say yes. This leaves a few people in the office swamped with work, while others get to waltz out at 5 (those people will make the same or more than you). There are way to many bosses per analyst and everyone wants their project to be the #1 priority. Most of the issues have been exasperated since being acquired by Permira who is cutting any cost they can, without any regard to employee morale or view to the company. Which has caused a lot more turnover than usual as people do not seem too pleased with the company. Additionally, there seems to be a lack of transparency between pay/promotion across similar offices, and there is no flexibility in negotiating your salary.

Pros

There are some good people working at Duff...that's pretty much it.

Cons

Insufficient training Uncaring leadership Random rounds of layoffs Lots of in fighting Lots of favoritism Under development of junior staff Terrible bonuses Average base pay Zero work-life balance Performance management process is a joke. No modeling for juniors until 2+ years at the firm. Formatting things until your hands begin to cramp. People stealing credit for your work. Cliques are everywhere. You cannot trust anyone because almost everyone gossips.
