Cringiest Recruiting Videos Made By Investment Banks
the top two that come to mind are:
1. Solomon Partners Day in the Life: vimeo.com/392776409
2. UBS Day in the Life of an Investment Banker:
would love to know if y'all have seem even more cringy recruiting videos
Bull or bear, that's the question ;)))))
It’s crazy to think that these firms actually paid someone to do that.
Even crazier to think someone high up on PR watched this and said: “Wow what a great video, put it on our website”
How is the video about PJ Solomon cringe? If anything it shows how great the culture is, especially since PJS is known for having one of the best WLB on the street. Plus I don’t think they’re are many other firms on the street with an office as nice as ours
Looks like we found who made the video. I commend you on your grasp of cinematography.
No, I think he's the main actor.
Dude, you just posted cringe…
Again
Don’t forget the UBS video where the employees were Tik Tok dances or something. That bank as a whole is down bad
The PJS one was fine until like the last 30 seconds. They upped the cringe factor by 10x lol.
cringiest video i've ever seen in IB
Aye he kinda hit that shit tho
How much of your bank’s kool-aid do you gotta drink to volunteer to make this video
None, there's already plenty of narcissists in high finance
How much do you think he got paid for it?
It's always UBS
Pj Solomon was alright until they started doing the one word description.
Almost vomited when the guy said “family”…ok Dom Toretto
I live my life one excel tab at a time
It looks like Greg left Pj last year. Did he say "family" because Greg reminds him of his father?
I interviewed at PJS and ended up taking an offer elsewhere but I really liked that video. It's supposed to be cheesy and it's self-aware, unlike the UBS one that's unironically bad. You can tell from the PJS one these guys/girls know how to have fun and don't take themselves too seriously.
I didn't think the PJS one was that bad. On a side note, in what world is a group of analysts going to pitch to a client at all let alone by themselves?
But honestly what do you guys expect? That they'll go around showing everyone with bags under their eyes telling you to fuck off?
Never, but that's far worse than the UBS one where she's on the desk at the trading floor as an IB analyst. That violates several finance regulations in and of itself.
Anyone know the name of the blonde chick in the PJS vid?
the one in the light blue or the one in the black shirt with white stripes?
I think all of the HR videos from Goldman are super cringe. They always ensure to show as many minorities and females as possible, talk about "making a difference" and "growing an inclusive mindset" etc. Basically any corporate video of theirs.
Meanwhile they once again are lead by a Jewish white man, most of their board/senior management is as well....but hey....we LOVE diversity!
lmao I don't think I saw one white guy
Even with hand-picking employees they weren't able to find anyone to hide the poor culture and long hours at GS lol. Listen carefully to what they are saying.
Nor cringe but this one seems pretty good
This is legit
Nice, let's see Pierce & Pierce's video
Auto ding because minority
All those early mornings, bleeding into late nights, doubts, struggles and sacrifice have led to this (more early mornings bleeding into late nights, more doubts, struggles and sacrifice).
doesn't PJS have a laid back culture? Honestly that vid was pretty good for a corporate recruitment video.
Nothing wrong with the PJS. It's bad acting, comes across as fake, incredibly pretentious, and soulless corporate. And that's exactly how it is.
Not an IB video and not cringy, but I like this video by BX because it correctly portrays the firm's image:
Crazy that their whole office is in black and white
is it because they live in the past?
No Xi Jinping appearance?
lol
Relax, it’s just a video
I saw a ton of white males in the Solomon Partners video so it looks like they at least got something right.
Also, imagine working for years and years in cube world and finally you get your own office....and there are no windows.
I thought no windows was fairly standard.
