Pros
Management's current mindset on expansion could present opportunities for financial services professionals looking to shift their current roles to a different company.
Cons
Continually heard from management how Jefferies was "special" and had a "uniquely different approach" to financial services compared to the traditional bulge bracket firms. In truth, it has all the pitfalls of larger rivals (uninspired thinking and leadership, internal politics) without the benefit of their expansive institutional scale and resources.
