Thoughts on Jefferies?

I work at Jeff.Culture is group dependent, but everyone wants to get things done. Some groups are more laid back than others, but everyone is generally friendly so long as you aren't too bad at the job.All groups are growing like crazy. Strong inflow of senior lateral hires (EVR, GH, Piper, CS to name a few), transaction sizes keep increasing, for what one can say about Rich Handler, he does know how to run a bank. Mandates are leaning towards larger deal transactions, with higher frequency of deals >1bn then the past few years. Strong coverage relations allow product groups to really expand. M&A's MD's have strong connections with Sponsors. We can also offer staple financing, as our relationship with Mass Mutual allows us to have a pretty decently sized balance sheet.To Echo some top groups: M&A, HC, LevFin, Tech, PCA (PCA is in the top 3 on the street), Industrials.But honestly? All the groups are impeccable. PUI is pretty cool, they've worked on mandates for Crypto-mining platforms. RX (While still having UCC mandates, since one of the MD's is pretty much the best in the field in the UCC) are now diversifying into more Distressed M&A and debtor deals, as well as other creditor classes. TES is exploding, and FIG has a huge initiative behind them from the company to expand.Exits are nicely fitted into the UMM/MM PE/PC, Hedgefunds, Equity Research, Corp Dev, Real Estate InvestingI'm having a blast. Also all of their events for some reason have waffle fries. Their cafeteria has a sushi bar.
