Chicago office has a pretty sweet wellness lounge I'm told
This gotta be a joke right
Interned in Chicago office last summer. Starting full time this summer
Stipend: $30 on weekdays $70 on sat/sun if you work over 8hrs each day
Uber: free working past 7pm
Subsidized cafeteria(used to be free), food is pretty good. Great coffee machines. 20 bucks of credits on snacks vendor machine every week. One floor has free drinks I forgot which one tho
Protected Saturdays for some groups
15 days of PTO, 5 sick days. Profit sharing after working for 2 yrs. Feel free to correct/add
Damn these have gotten WAY worse since I left. Used to be profit sharing year 1, free snacks (for IB, other divisions had to pay), and a bunch of other stuff
Free food/snacks were literally goated. (Yes I’m talking about the smoothies). It does vary by office tho. I’ve heard snacks in NYC office were free as of last summer when I was there. Also NYC, SF have more daily stipends. Don’t know if anything changed.
They eat you after contract over!
If you’re lucky you won’t be fired
When I was there...
Good health insurance plans and coverage (in my exp.). 401k with 50% match of the first 6%. Discretionary profit share after 2 years. 3 weeks PTO until you hit 5 years, which you get 4 weeks, and the 5 weeks at 10 years. Snack policy varied by office, free in NY. Pretty lenient expense policy IMO. Pretty lenient dress code too. $35 dinner stipend for late nights? And there was like a $100/month "technology" stipend for your cell phone bill.
Cons: Shitty consecutive bonuses
edit: should mention that analysts that get the promotion to associate get a month of sabbatical but only if they began as analysts there (i.e., no laterals)
How does the dinner expense work? Do they give you a corporate card and I can just use at wholefoods or anywhere?
When does 401K matching start? 50% of 6%, so Im assuming it's a 3% maximum match?
What's this profit sharing thing that everyone is talking about? This is on top of the regular bonus? If so, how much is it before the 2 bad years?
I’m gonna take it you’re not an associate 2?
you submit a receipt through concur... its just a normal corporate/banking expense policy
idk man does it matter? just max it and forget it, dont be a poor
its a discretionary profit share, you really dont have control over it so you shouldnt count on it
FYI, not all firms do the corporate card and concur thing. Some firms can only place orders through seamless or etc. and you get a x amount credit daily. It's not like it's a deal breaker, but simply just curious.
What have discretionary profit share look like historically? I'm not counting on it, but just want to know. I have never heard of this in any other firms.
