What are some of the nicest offices you've ever been in? I thought Blackstone's was very nice in an old school dark wood kinda way. Have heard MS isn't great but CS is very nice. What others?

Bloomberg has the best office in London
Right across from our London office, and definitely an extremely nice place
PJT and it's not even all that close. Modern, sleek, prestigious, and sexy...PJT
Lazard's Paris office looks incredible...
Definitely Citi, especially after they "overhired" and ran out of desks (per Liquidity)
MS office is being completely renovated by end of 2022
In New York? London floors still feel like we are stuck in the 80'...
Hands down SVBL’s Boston office. One of the new Tech MDs put it as “the most beautiful office you’ll ever see in investment banking.” They occupy the top two floors of Boston’s nicest/most iconic office building, with stunning views of the city. The office has marble everywhere and all the conference rooms have curved glass. The kitchen there even has beer on tap 24/7 with local IPAs from Boston. Better yet, they have a huge private rooftop deck where they have happy hours pretty often and host big events with clients. There aren’t any pictures of the office online but if you ever have the chance to visit it you’re in for having your jaw drop
>IPAs
Opinion discarded
Seething SoyPA hipsters smh...
Best building in city? They’re in the financial district which kind of sucks, there’s a reason every single PE firm has moved to Back Bay…
Deutsche Bank's new NY office in the Time Warner Center is pretty nice. They have an awesome terrace overlooking Central Park and 59th Street.
They got such a nice office to compensate the pain of working for DB
When I ran through recruiting back in 2016, the nicest offices in NYC were Goldman, BAML and CS.
I'm sure things have changed in the past 6 years.
Pretty sure DBs new office is sick
Can confirm, bar, ping pong, pool table, multiple terraces, good dining hall and nice views from all floors.
Wells Fargo has entered the chat*
Salivating at this thread the one thing about Finance is that everything is so fucking sleek its sick
Skaddens office at Hudson yards is sick - great views of Manhattan, modern and spacious everything, brand new building
All jokes aside about Citi, 388 Greenwich st is a good office, especially the trading floors - brand new everything, great view and location in tribeca, in building gym as well
Ducera - looks like a museum, super modern and sleek, very classy
KPS - my personal favorite, so nice, sleek, modern, and ultra stylish
GTCR is crazy
Don't know if it still exists, but GTCR used to have a private cigar lounge in their office, which was pretty wild.
Woahhh wtf that is crazy
How many places have their own cafe / cafeteria? Obviously Nomura w/ their sushi but curious what BBs/EBs/MFs in NY have that set-up
Can’t tell if sushi comment is racist joke or true
not racist. i know people that walk to nomura on lunch for their sushi lol
Centerview
Db has one and has sushi, pizza, deli/grill and buffet
Jefferies NYC does. My MD said he expects them to end free cafeteria food in due time
GTCR
Rothschild has a beautiful office
Do they really, last I heard it was kinda getting old.
London is beautiful. New York is not, and they're looking to move
Although the Wells Fargo hq in Frisco is in a fairly ugly building, the top executive floor is like pure sixties mahogany madness with brutalist roof garden touches. Extremely good looking.
Xx
McKinsey
Lazard Chicago very modern and clean, great view of the river and city
HSBC's new headquarters in Hudson Yards is pretty sick.
Its called the Hudson Spiral building, its ultra new so its more modern architecture than classical old school which some people love and others hate.
555 California St. San Fran is sick. McKinsey, Goldman, and KKR on premiere floors.
Centerview SF is also in that building, very nice offices as well
BAML's office is pretty great. They own the entire building, have a gym on-site, subsidized cafeteria, subsidized coffee / snack bar with real baristas and a subsidized smoothie / juice bar. Trading floors designed by WeWork, and great location at Bryant Park.
wait wtf, "Trading floors designed by WeWork" Did I read that right?
Yes, not sure if its all of the trading floors, but they were really impressed to tout that about the fourth floor during my time there
Curious to hear about individual offices as well. What do PE partners' offices look like? Any Gordon Gekko-like offices?
