Business outlook
Pros
Jefferies provide a decent employer if you have already worked in finance. It is very risk averse and avoids even the most vanilla of derivative products.
Cons
Junior staff are paid relatively little compared to similar pay packages at investment banks and promotion is more weighted toward time served rather than merit. If you are a seasoned financier then you might do well if you can negotiate the extremely tight balance sheet requirements but if you are a junior then I would not make this my first choice.
