Pros

PJC is a good place to build a career in investment banking with a lean deal team and direct access to senior bankers and management teams with lots of responsibility.

Cons

Deal teams can run lean which makes it difficult sometimes to stay on top of all the work and projects to put forth good results. However, the teamwork in the group is strong.

Pros

It's nearly impossible to get fired. After many years, the IT department has hired a diverse team. Coworkers were intelligent and ethical.

Cons

Unusual that, until after Covid, the IT department was about 95% Caucasian, but now the diversity seems to be due to the ability to lower salaries, and worsen work/life balance. Management will only promote yes-people, or hire from the outside. It's akin to working in IT in 1990s, there is little process or structure. Laptops weren't given to IT until after Covid (yes you read that right), and when they were handed out, they were the used laptops from revenue generating departments that had been upgraded. It was a very chaotic environment.
