Business outlook
Pros
If you like energy, you get to stare at it from a distance. You'll have some war stories when you leave. Free fruit.
Cons
You get lured in from a tier 1 BB/specialist bank with things that never materialize. Before you know it, you're essentially an analyst in an M&A sweatshop that then however sits on the risk when the deal closes. Deal by deal funding means you're pitching like on the sell side. Model assumptions are quite ... uhhh ... optimistic. Promotions random, bonus bad, no carry (long term incentive plan is terrible, it just delays the bonus). Dinner allowance doesn't even cover the sushi. Complete toxicity, burnt out analysts everywhere, clueless directors without PE or banking background.
