I'm sorry I couldn't provide more specific details, but this might be a good starting point!
Are they kicking off a process in London?
Think one been on the go for a while (couple of weeks+)
For the 2026 class or for an ad-hoc French / Benelux speaker as they are looking to expand in the region? Would be surprised if hiring for the 2026 class has kicked off. Could you please confirm?
Bump
Strong brand in Europe and do a lot of deals
But since you asked about culture: Would suggest anyone who is close to an offer to talk to some of the people who left in the last years and hear what they have to say (if they are willing to speak might be under NDA, also they do seem to only give 24h to accept offers nowadays though - maybe there is a connection?). Historically said to be pay below market vs other large caps but compensated with good culture. Improved comp since then.
Culture was said to be great until some of the old leadership phased out in 2020/21. Some teams still have good culture (e.g., TMT) across many others teams/geos culture has become very bad with people leaving as a result.
Seems to be some shady stuff to be going on, like conduct consistent with what is publicly reported - e.g., with the Italian prosecutor investigating them for accounting fraud.
Thanks for this, very helpful. Do you have a sense for the London office specifically how things have been?
The above also applies to the London office - culture is said to vary a lot by team there.
