Based on the most helpful WSO content, FT Partners has historically been known for its dominance in the fintech space, solid deal flow, and expertise in the sector. However, the firm has faced criticism for its culture, long hours, and high turnover rates.
In recent years, including 2019 and beyond, FT Partners made efforts to address these issues by expanding its People Ops team, doubling its analyst class size, and focusing on improving retention and employee experience. Analysts were reported to work an average of 85 hours per week, which, while intense, is not uncommon for reputable investment banks.
Despite these improvements, the culture has been described as challenging, with some employees feeling overworked and undervalued. Concerns about limited exit opportunities and weaker modeling skills compared to other banks have also been raised.
If FT Partners is indeed coming back strong in 2025 with a robust pipeline, it would be worth investigating whether these cultural and operational changes have continued to evolve positively. For those considering a role there, it’s essential to weigh the firm’s fintech expertise and deal flow against the potential challenges of work-life balance and culture.

Pretty ass. Analysts spend all their time building a 120 page “industry report” on fintech monthly
Did someone hurt you when you were a baby.
Not the banking group
adding on they have a separate fintech research team that produces those, they are paid less as well i think
Incredible amounts of turnover, bad pay, goofball seniors who can’t win deals
Can't comment on pipeline but hours are 11pm-12am finish ~75% and 2-3am ~25%, comp isn't as high as 2020/21 but pretty high compared to other banks, the IB division is honestly not bad, not saying it's a top shop tho. Avoid their research and sponsor divisions. source: roommate
