Mizuho Culture and Exits

Am currently in interview process with Mizuho IB NYC and wanted to get a better sense of the culture and typical exit opps from Mizuho.

Based on online reviews from Glassdoor, fishbowl, etc, it seems that there is frequent mention of a “toxic work environment”, “very long work hours”, and “below street bonuses” but have also seen a few on WSO saying it’s one of the “best culture” IB firms across the street

I was being facetious I’m referring to a historical event involving in the Japanese.  But.  on a more serious note, one of my friends works there. There is quite a big face time culture, they don’t work on many interesting projects, and there’s a lot of turnover. Bonuses are pretty low as well.  The hours are not terrible but not great. Very mid I’d say overall
