Evercore Partners Reviews

Cons

I didn't find any as of now

Cons

While the firm at large may be exceptional, your experience is going to be defined more by the particular group you're in.

Cons

Slow in development of younger workforce

Cons

None that I can think of

Cons

The firm is somewhat inflexible in advancement timing, and tends to only promote people after a set period of time in each position.

Cons

Depending on who you work for being an EA actually means being a personal assistant and doing personal favors, returning library books, buying things on ebay for someones family, researching flower arrangements, etc, in addition to all the meeting scheduling, travel, and heavy calendaring. A lot of EA's in my department work heavy overtime due to this. Consider learning to exercise good boundaries because you might be pushed beyond reasonable limits. This is also the first place I've ever worked where assistants feel guilty stepping away or taking lunches, which does not seem too healthy. There is also a heavy gossip culture amongst assistants, watch out for that.

Cons

Long hours. Low money to start

Cons

Hours can be long and group dependent

Cons

standard drawbacks associated with investment banking (unpredictable hours, low value-add grunt work); firm has been expanding a bit too quickly from a headcount perspective which as diluted the quality of people a bit

Cons

Evercore ISI's culture of buying up and bolting together top sector teams from the street means there's little interest in promoting from within - not the best for morale of junior members and for talent retention. Lots of younger talent has left.
