Pros

Duff & Phelps offers a great work environment for anyone who thrives on challenging projects and enjoys working among the best in the industry. The firm consistently brings in new projects and works with great clients. The Internal Firm Services teams work hard to support the service lines, and most of the MDs have a very welcoming open door policy.

Cons

Working in this industry, for Duff & Phelps or for ANY of our competitors, comes with the expectation that there will be a lot of work, which sometimes translates into a lot of hours. If you aren't comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting the work done, this isn't the place for you.

Pros

It can give interns their first glimpse into Fortune 500 client work. One of the few opportunities that directly seeks after political science students.

Cons

I had a terrible experience with most managers. They had a tendency to openly question the intelligence and professional capabilities of interns; mind you, undergraduate and graduate students, which is the worst thing for someone in that stage to hear. When I pushed back on a manager who questioned my intellectual ability to do analytical work, I was labeled as combative and almost fired. As a result of my vocality, certain managers pretended like I didn't exist to them, something I still find traumatic in hindsight this day. I know other interns and externs were also openly told they didn't have the intellectual ability to perform their work at a high level.
