One Group

Hi All,

This is supposed to be a fun way to find out more about some of the users/preferences on this site. If you could choose any ONE firm/group to work in for Full-Time as an Analyst, which would you choose (Investment Banking roles only)? Please briefly explain why the chosen firm/group stands out to you in particular. Hopefully we can get a good amount of feedback generated on this topic.
