Pros
In 7 years of corporate finance advisory, these were by far my best years in the space:
+ Unique culture: entrepreneurial approach in which the team effort is the focus
+ Team is deal oriented and wants to get things done whilst providing creative and tailored-made solutions to their clients - everyone at all level is pushed to contribute to that
+The deal flow is massive and do not even think of getting bored!
+ The network within GCA is powerful and you will work with colleagues from all around the world
+ Global company with a human size
+The do-it approach: you have a great idea for GCA Altium? Great! Then talk internally and if your idea makes sense, you can push for it straight away
+ Great personal development opportunities thanks to a strong HR platform put in place - e.g. after 2 years, I was able to work for in another office for some months and completed a transaction there
+ Several extra activities outside work will enable you becoming familiar with this great Team
Cons
- The work load is sometimes difficult to predict but this is rather inherent to the industry
