Pros

- Good culture at the junior level - Couple of really good MDs that are great to work for

Cons

- Dirt cheap culture, Company would rather save a dollar than see you happy and healthy - Worst bonuses on the street, like atrociously (also, bankers that churn several equity deals will get paid more than those who do 2 or 3 M&A deals in a year) - Quality of M&A deals are nowhere near the same level as competitors like Harris Williams, Lincoln International. Baird, Houlihan Lokey, Jefferies, etc. - Senior management does not care about culture and will look the other way as long as the MD is bringing in deals, regardless of how much junior turnover that MD has caused - Top heavy organization (MDs>Analysts) and deal teams are too lean - Lots of nepotism, especially on the IB side - Benefits are dog water - NY office is tiny af (but again, Stifel would rather save a dollar then improve your well-being) - Worst laptops in all of corporate America (but again...)
