Same question. Instead of just good/bad culture, would appreciate to learn certain characteristics of each group.

 

All second hand so take with a grain of salt...

Barcap: Great culture heard that Seniors have pushed back on unreasonable client requests (not sure how true this is maybe just a pipe dream)

BofA: Have heard that they get overworked relative to dealflow, but have nice enough people

Citi: Work hard play hard culture

CS: As user above said tight knit culture generally positive things have pretty good hours for amount of deal flow

GS: Haven't heard the best things in terms of culture, but better than JPM

JPM: Have heard that they had a new group head who was pretty ruthless, hours got a lot worse

MS: Have heard they have a decent culture. Better than GS / JPM, but nothing to write home about

UBS: Good culture just no deal flow

 

Id odit autem magni. Est id qui sit perspiciatis. Impedit in enim et saepe ducimus minima non. Neque ipsa illum inventore in et.

Nesciunt et est quia nihil adipisci odio consequatur. Veritatis ut eos laboriosam sequi quas. Officiis laudantium eius et tempora nulla est.
