Pros
The CEO once said in a firmwide meeting on mentorship that sometimes mentors teach you how not to be - this was true of my experience at Wolfe.
Cons
The firm will lie about opportunities for growth to get you in the door. Once you are in the job they provide no information or structure for advancement, other than a vague “work hard”. Working hard means working 24/7 7 days a week or taking on the responsibilities of 3 separate jobs and only being paid for 1. Associates are given an opportunity to take on coverage that the firm already plans to give over to an analyst they’re hiring externally and then pushed to the side or let go when the new analyst arrives. Associates are often yelled at and berated. The firm does not practice a culture of learning and growing, instead it could be better described as “Kill or be killed”. Work culture is toxic and abusive.
