Advice to Management

Support level to clients has been a key to their success, is unparalleled and will remain a core focus.

Pros

Opportunities to learn new skills

Pros

Throughout the course of my internship at Dresner Partners, I was involved in a wide variety of projects. Day to day activities were always changing, and I focused on a mix of marketing/finance projects. The real-world business experience I gained was invaluable, as this was my first finance related job. It was very hands on, and you had a peek into real-life active deals. Management is attentive and wants you to succeed, would definitely recommend for all prospective college students.

Pros

I learned what not to do and to use a checklist for everything. Then you can prove your process

Advice to Management

Be a better person, get to know your staff and stop expecting everyone to do everything for you. Stop having your children by spies for you in your office. You have a horrible reputation in the industry as a whole.

Pros

I have had a very fulfilling and stimulating experience during my tenure at Dresner Partners. My skills and knowledge of investment banking were very limited prior to Dresner. During my time here, however, I have gained a tremendous amount of experience and a vast array of proficiencies. I’ve had the opportunity to work on several different types of engagements across various industries and have really been able to refine my skill sets. I have enjoyed working with and have attained valuable knowledge from everyone within the organization – from the analysts to the president of the company.
