      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Opportunity to get responsibility if staffed right - Short communication line to most senior folk in firm

      Cons

      - Badge of honour to work hard rather than work smart - Seniors unsure of what they want - Lots of unnecessary very late nights and weekends. Essentially bulge bracket hours for mid market pay - MDs set fake deadlines - You'll likely spend more time doing graphic design than corporate finance

      Very confusing place

      Pros

      Small enough team that you could make a difference. Responsibility there if you want it.

      Cons

      A lot of senior people (like MDs) with not much deal experience. This filters down and much of the organisation haven't done many deals. Kinda like blind leading the blind. There is a serious lack of leadership, no one in London has any decision making power. Salary is at market but bonuses are shockingly low. A lot of junior staff work goes unappreciated and culture is soulless (non existent perhaps). Strategy is very confusing - would like to do big deals but haven't got the experience against competitors to earn that right. A bit of a hopeless place and I would not be surprised if there is no London office in a couple years
