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

for culture think Nanjing and for exits think corporate and not anything quality in investing
Thanks. Care to elaborate what you mean why the “nanjing culture” reference (I get it’s an Asia bank…)?
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

Good culture, deal quality is group dependent
Any insight on RE group in particular?
