Pros

Small firm feel. Highly supportive Associates provide chance for Analysts to take on higher roles. Lean deal teams further increase scope of responsibility.

Cons

Noticeable lack of brand name impedes deal-making. The firm lacks a constant flow and is struggling to find its real focus within the Investment Banking space.

Pros

Top-notch team across the board, long-term client relationships, commitment to thoughtful and intellectually honest analysis, senior banker input in content creation and client/process management, transparent work environment with direct and constructive feedback

Cons

Mainly specific to my personal goals/preferences: generalist mandate doesn’t leave much room for junior team members to specialize, long-term focus on a smaller client set results in fewer opportunities to learn about new companies/business models, lower junior headcount relative to other boutiques results in smaller professional network
