RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Rothschild & Co full-time for more than a year
Pros
New analyst training program is by far the best on the street. Rothschild & Co flies you to London for two months, treating you to a first-class lifestyle while teaching you everything you need to know to be a successful investment banker.
Cons
Hours are long, but to be expected on Wall Street
Advice to Management
Continue what you are doing: good compensation + good training = high morale

Approves of CEOI worked at Rothschild & Co full-time
Pros
A friendly environment on the junior level. Associates and VPs are pretty close with analysts. New leadership in the US has been a positive, they have been trying to take meaningful steps to fix problems. Good pay, vertical mobility and career opportunities
Cons
Feels like a sweatshop a lot of the time. MDs will grind junior guys day and night and go crazy over decks that have no chance of leading to live deals.
Advice to Management
Manage MD use of junior resources more carefully. Seems like there is little discussion between MDs, meaning that junior guys just get crushed.
