Business Outlook

Pros

Understaffed in the non-HQ office so I was able to have a lot of responsibility.

Cons

I was not in the HQ office and it was very hard. We did not get as much resources as the main office and never got to meet them.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working out in California, the Public Finance group is larger than any other in the state. There are significant opportunities to grow and attain responsibility over numerous deals. It's fast paced and relatively high intensity, but also very rewarding.

Cons

Support bankers are often overworked due to poor staffing. Pay doesn't start out competitive enough. Steep learning curve with less instruction than may be needed. There have been many acquisitions of other firms by Stifel that do not feel integrated, systems are disjointed and oftentimes confusing.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good exposure to all aspects of transactions. Experience is truly what you make of it; if you try to get your hands dirty, you can, and you have the ability to sculpt a reputation for yourself even at a very junior level. Those who stand out are treated right come bonus time.

Cons

Exit opportunities can be limited - the firm tends to keep its best talent in-house and has not done much to extend opportunities outward. The analyst/associate promotion cycle (June vs. January) means that you can be in a tough position to make a decision when the time comes.
