Pros

Firm has grown in recent years, but most of the upward mobility opportunities seem to be gone.

Cons

Jefferies thinks its a bulge bracket bank and a lot of the bankers actually think they have a chance at deals against Goldman, Morgan Stanley, and JP. It's hilarious.

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.
