if you are seeing any short term future, Nomura is the place - Associate NOMURA Employee Review

good mentoring, manager was very nice team was fantastic

product coverage was not strong enough

Decent deal exposure depending on your group. Recognizable name in certain markets, particularly in Asia-Pacific. Peers at the junior level are generally smart and hardworking.

Not a true bulge bracket, which shows in deal flow, brand recognition with clients, and exit opportunities compared to peers. Senior banker quality is inconsistent — some MDs are checked out or siloed. Culture can feel fragmented between the Japanese parent company and the Western business. Limited resources and support infrastructure compared to larger shops.
