Business Outlook
Pros
Greater opportunity for exposure to client company management. Deal teams can be lean and the client companies are typically small so there is frequently exposure to the CEO or CFO.
Cons
Junior employees tend to be viewed as resources to be leveraged as opposed to individuals, hours are very bad even for an investment bank. Pay is significantly below street, analysts have seen their bonus figure stay flat or decline year over year. Tasks are sometimes menial, for example writing email responses for senior bankers.
