AGC Partners - info

Hi OP. AGC is purely a boutique tech investment bank. They do not delve into any other products, nor do they invest. 

Look up their reviews on like Glassdoor bro, shit seems mega toxic. I've talked to an analyst that left that affirmed the fact that their CEO makes analysts write great things about them online. 

I have a direct source with the firm and have asked him about the culture and comp recently. I have been told that comp has increased to below street as a first year and equal to or above street for second year (large jump for some reason), which also doesn't account for the lower taxes and lower cost of living in Boston. He also mentioned how the culture has improved markedly, not sure in what capacity though (culture shift has really occurred in the last year or so, which is why people might still think its rough). For example, they no longer have mandatory weekend hours, which people on wso like to mention. 

Worked with an associate who lateralled over from AGC. They withheld part of his paycheck one week because he attended his grandmother's funeral. Apparently that wasn't an excused absence from the desk.

Jesus. My connection with AGC is directly to their CEO. I have heard mixed reviews similar to all of you. The person who introduced me to AGC's CEO described it is a real scrappy, gritty shop with alot of former athletes. All input appreciated as I try to navigate the best opportunities.

Pretty sure there is a solid AGC thread that basically trashes the shop and exposes the toxic culture.
