Pros
Talented individuals who encourage personal development and reward dependability. Immediate deal exposure and ample opportunities to participate in credit committees, business development meetings, and industry training. Working at LP will improve your analytical abilities, communication skills, and accountability. Rare to see successful associates/bankers leave. Professionally and financially rewarding. Good culture - you’ll make lifelong friends and mentors.
Cons
Associate hours can be long, but you’re compensated accordingly. Entrepreneurial atmosphere – if you need constant supervision or frequently ask questions before doing your own research, look elsewhere.
