Pros

Decent experience, learn a lot in short amount of time

Cons

Group leadership turned over 3 times in 3 years. Only 2 or 3 analysts became associates, most left to join other M&A groups or go to PE Everything about the group is kind of a joke, mostly pitching and few deals, no leadership, zero mentor-ship except by other analysts/associates Pay consistently below mkt with little differentiation regardless of work amount or quality

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
