Pros

Good colleagues that work for the company, there are many wonderful and caring people that work throughout the firm in various office locations.

Cons

Awful management and leadership with zero understanding of how to lead teams or groups of individuals. Very selfish and unappreciative of hard work and effort contributed.

Poor IB Experience

Pros

Relatively nice people, the view of the company overall is positive.

Cons

The IB group: - Is grossly underpaid (see every other Stout review on IB) - Is trying to cut its way to profits (not possible) - Takes on projects that are very low-quality and have a very low probability-to-close, which contributes negatively to banker morale as many deals are not closed in spite of months of hard work put in; close rates are several orders of magnitude below industry standards - Contradictory with respect to culture and experience; bankers were told a "good culture" comes at the cost of slightly lower pay and better hours, however, in reality the culture is completely nonexistent and disjointed, pay is ~20% below market, and hours are comparable to those at direct competitors
