Pros

Jefferies brand is strong in IB as an analyst Good exit opps Do your two years and then get out

Cons

Junior resources are expendable Little care for junior work life balance but fairly typical for industry Comp below street at analyst level Highly political firm with lots of infighting Little chance for path to MD internally if looking to be career banker Often pitch and win crap business although also win strong mandates as well Very toxic culture. People are unpleasant to deal with on a day to day basis

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.
