Pros

Free lunch almost every other week! Who doesnt love free food when they dont pay you enough.

Cons

The salary was so low for the industry, but I did not realize this until after I left. Upper level management is extremely rude and yelled a good amount. No respect for lower level employees, who are the face of the business.

Pros

It's a really good group of senior talent to learn from and work with. I enjoyed the approachability the most and they always welcome a good attitude. Felt like there was an actual culture here vs. other investment banks.

Cons

It's an investment bank, so the cons of a typical investment bank. However, I think that Covington does get it right. I think that the hours/ work life balance are pretty solid here. A poster mentioned comp and I think that's the trade off when junior folks are being used efficiently unlike other shops. That being said, comp is competitive given the hours and you'd hard pressed to find that elsewhere. You can max your comp by going to Jeffries and working 100+ hours a week etc. if you so choose.
