Rothschild's bulllpen awful, rest is cool with their artwork.  PJT location, and interior nice especially with their perks too.  KKR, absolutely lovely, had a superday there and gosh felt like a hotel.  Bofa, disgusting bullpen.  Blackrock dead.  BNP so so dead.  GS surprisingly very nice office and facilities.  MS dead.  JPM quite nice, someone chip in for this.  Citi decent depends on which team your in though.  Macquarie - hated it always with construction and lime bikes blocking the entrance.  Jefferies, actually really liked it.  PWP, had a really nice kitchen but location is annoying.  Lazard was a factory and now moved.  Ask me about other banks, I can tell you from what I know from friends there and experience.

JPM is really nice when I visited for a few events. MS however holy shit I thought I was in the 1980s fucking hell was it bad. KKR looks great when I was at a Glencore event this spring. Barclays is really nice (I go there a few times). DB is absolutely insane honestly, really solid. GS I've heard is great.
