The Junior Banking Analyst (JBA) program is designed for recent graduates as an introduction to banking, offering accelerated exposure, hands on learning, and meaningful responsibility early in an analyst’s career. Our JBAs benefit from extensive training and development opportunities throughout the program. Resources include full access to Corporate Finance Institute (CFI), tailored learning paths for JBAs, monthly Lunch & Learns with banking SMEs, early exposure to lending concepts, formalized training materials for each rotation, and a collaborative peer-to-peer support network. Those who lean into these opportunities are well positioned for growth and success. We are committed to fostering an environment where employees feel respected, supported in their development, and able to grow in their careers. We want every Team Member to feel they have clear pathways, consistent expectations, and a workplace grounded in professionalism and trust. We hope you addressed your concerns with the program manager.

Senior analysts provide guidance when needed. Easy to stay organized, processes are well defined. Exposure to financial statements, risk analysis, and market trends. Developed strong attention to detail and analytical skills. Teams work closely together on projects and reports. Consistent feedback and communication.

Pros

Only pro here is that certain roles will let you operate above your title, e.g. exposure to sides of the job reserved for senior roles at other firms. 15 days PTO to start is actually not terrible either. Great coworkers depending on your team.

Cons

Too many to list here, but will try. Main issue here is the top-down culture of fear and internal politics, as the entire bank is at the whim of one person. Managers are exclusively concerned with looking good in front of the CEO, and even top SVPs are terrified to be honest with him. SVPs routinely complain about not being able to get comp raises for employees, while simultaneously being terrified to ask. Do not expect your manager to go to bat for you if it in any way involves being assertive. If you want to work for a borderline alt-right CEO who belittles employees openly, this is your spot. The only people that thrive here are those who have never worked elsewhere and do not know what a real company looks like. Looking forward to the HR denial response here too. Some other cons: - Zero WFH allowed - Below market compensation across all roles - Stock bonus vesting schedule that take 4 years to fully vest
