Pros

Duff & Phelps offers a great work environment for anyone who thrives on challenging projects and enjoys working among the best in the industry. The firm consistently brings in new projects and works with great clients. The Internal Firm Services teams work hard to support the service lines, and most of the MDs have a very welcoming open door policy.

Cons

Working in this industry, for Duff & Phelps or for ANY of our competitors, comes with the expectation that there will be a lot of work, which sometimes translates into a lot of hours. If you aren't comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting the work done, this isn't the place for you.

Good reputation. Difficult to advance

Pros

The benefits are good. The company has a good industry reputation.

Cons

Promotion and advancement from within is difficult. The company culture and structure is all organized to benefit and advance the managing directors instead of organic growth of the resident staff.

Pros

- Highly ambitious peers, constantly impressed by abilities of professionals - Highly professional atmosphere - Seem to hit a homerun with every acquisition - MDs are some of the best in their industries. Highly accomplished and regarded by clients. - No "time-clock cops". Easy come-and-go policy. People are trusted to manage their work load accordingly even at the intern level. - Sky's the limit for advancement. You decide the pace.

Cons

- Too much overhead in the form of non-revenue employees - Can lose sight of the big picture as they cut corners on trivial things like computer supplies, yet have admin staff sitting around with nothing to do - The sky-high rates and long hours equal HUGE revenues, but don't seem to flow down Jr. Mgmt and staff. Someone's getting paid (MDs?EC? Shareholders?). - Staffing can seem like organized chaos as no one is sure what is two weeks down the pipeline and what they will be working on. - Hiring cannot keep up with work coming in because they rely on internal referrals or dumb luck of people finding the listing on the website.
