Pros
Firm has strong reputation in ER. but the reputation has no value outside of ER.
Cons
Too many to list them all....... Long hours, constant pressure to publish, weekend work, terrible culture, limited employee protections including HR, very immoral and abusive senior management team, lack of standard benefits including 401K. Pressured into a number of uncomfortable and unethical decisions. Limited room for advancement with a track record of firing or pushing out aspiring analysts who gain coverage. Pay always lower than it should be...... a complaint commonly shared among junior and mid-level talent. Top level talent and later hires presumably paid well. Employees tend to not like each other within sales or research. OVERALL VIEW - DONT LISTEN TO RECRUITMENT PROMISES YOU WILL REGRET IT.
