Internship at Piper Jaffray

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The culture is not as aggressive as other IBD but at the same time it has a good amount of deal flows so interns obtain a good insight of how an Investment Bank operates. It has a really strong position in healthcare (mostly middle market), specially in the US.

Cons

The hours are not great although probably better than in other Investment Banks.
