Aegis Capital Employee Reviews about "wall street"

Pros

okay company, the people were decent. free lunches occasional. 40 wall street location was a great location for meetings and food options.

Cons

no guidance or help in development. not a lot of areas for lateral movement. old school firm, eat what you kill. If they focused more on incentives for younger employees maybe they'd be able to retain them longer. high turnover rate.

Pros

Good Way to get Licensed. Great wake-up call that wall street can be a very tough place if you don't surround yourself with good people.

Cons

Felt a lot like Wolf of Wall Street. Moral and pay is very low among younger guys on the desk since the uncovered list of accounts gets contacted much more than most of the "covered" accounts. Develop a very thick skin when making 100+ calls a day to hedge funds that already told another young guy they have no interest every month or so for the past few years.

Pros

Great work-life balance Great people Not a lot of red tape Making a name for itself PE & VC subsidiary you can move in to

Cons

Pay is not that great Not a lot of growth opportunity Motivation of people is not up to par with other wall street firms

Pros

Okay access to secondary offerings and private placements for clients. Good In house research and access to Jp Morgan's data.

Cons

People working at wall street branch are terrible. Old overweight immature men scrapping by with disregard for clients well being.
