Pros

Entrepreneurial environment. I believe that a lot of the success that people achieve at Jefferies is due to the "seat" they are in/boss they have. If boss is willing to invest in you, great. If not, it's easy to get lost there.

Cons

Many people take individualistic approaches to their jobs; corporate culture lacking a true sense of teamwork. Encountered internal obstacles where people in other divisions would not respond to emails/phone calls. Overall lack of general business etiquette.

Pros

Supportive firm-wide culture; competitive pay; surrounded by some of the smartest people you'll ever meet.

Cons

Like most banking jobs, incredibly long hours. Group specific: culture can be poor / not well supported, poor organization / staffing at group level.
