Based on my recruiting trips/ bank visits:
GS -- Solid offices, but nothing special
MS -- Has a cool building, but thought their actual offices felt a bit stingy/antiquated.
Citi -- New building --> dope offices
DB -- Offices give off a pretty old school vibe, but I thought they were pretty cool in that retro sense (the building is actually on Wall St), but idk if I would actually call them nice
Barclays -- I liked their offices a lot. Seemed pretty new and nice. Cool building too
UBS -- Solid office, but nothing special
JPM -- Nice offices. Comparable to Barclays IMO
RBC (controversial BB but whatever) -- Super nice offices comparable to Citi
Bofa/CS -- Never visited.
Seems pretty accurate but u need to work on your vocab kid
Lmao I'll bust out the thesaurus for my next post
The fact that you have to preface RBC as “controversial” because of all the butthurt people/trolls just shows how this site is going...
Anyway the nicest offices are easily Citi, RBC, and CS
CS offices are my favorite. Newly renovated, very nice, and particularly modern (i.e. no floor-to-ceiling mahogany). Great location, too.
Citi’s new offices are gorgeous. Outdoor sky terrace halfway up and corner meeting rooms with views of the Hudson on every floor. Also it’s in Tribeca, which is 1000x nicer than midtown.
Would be interested to hear about this for London
Have been blessed to work at two of the nicest offices in NYC, CS at 1 Madison Ave and BofA at 1 Bryant Park. BofA Tower much more modern, stunning architecture. Worked on the trading floor and it was awesome. CS building is very classic architecture but the inside is very nice and modern. Best perk of both of these are that BofA tower is right on Bryant Park and CS is right on Madison Square Park. If you ever get a chance to leave the office, theres nothing like walking through one of these parks.
Loved Citi, Barclays, CS, Bofa, and also took a peek at wells in HY
JPM bullpen is one of the worst I've seen
Lol no
"Lol no" you've never been, or "Lol no" no gym? Not sure how that's lol-worthy either way as many BB offices I've been to had gyms
EDIT: Sorry if I sounded like an asshole above, my gf has an Associate lateral offer there and we are genuinely curious
Wells Fargo has Hudson Yards - enough said. I would like to hear some WF Hudson yards folks comment on it because although I haven’t seen the inside, the other corporate offices in the building are very nice.
sorry but i asked for BBs
HY Office is pretty sweet - we're in 30 Hudsonyards which is the 100 story one with the observation deck. We have the 60-65th floors in banking and the trading floors are 14,15. Super sleek and modern, if you've seen the pictures of the new Citi digs its more or less similar on the inside. Banking has sweeping panoramic views of the city and trading / ECM guys have a nice view of the vessel and that square overlooking the Hudson. Its just us, KKR, and WarnerMedia in the building, conjoined to the HY mall which has a ton of food options and nice restaurants + Shakeshack, Sweetgreen, plus Lulu, Suit supply etc - it's been super nice to be able to buy suits and pants and get them tailored on your way to get lunch in the span of 20 mins. 40 steps away is the HY Equinox which is pretty sweet but not "over-the-top" better than other Nox's like Bond St. The pool is nice obviously, heated to 80 degrees in the winter, we get a pretty big discount there too, regular membership is $300/m, Wells discount gets you down to like $220. That said, there isn't much outside the immediate 5 block radius of HY as of now, but tons of stuff going in thats due to be completed in the next yr or so - Urbanspace, Whole Foods, etc. We also get $30 for dinner, and uber home if you stay past 8, which is on the earlier side from what I hear about other places.
