Distinct drop off in culture - Investment Banking Associate William Blair Employee Review

- Senior management have ruined what was once a nice and unique banking culture. People are leaving in large numbers due to bullying and mistreatment. Senior management aware of the issue but only care about the hours you put in - Interns, Analysts and Associates are expected to work crazy hours with little understanding from MDs. Including full weekends regularly and on average a 2/3am finish every day - Management play favourites resulting in very qualified analysts/associates either being let go or failing to make promotion in place of less deserving candidates - Senior Management often very detached from the actual day to day and then impose unrealistic deadlines and create a lot of inefficients - Very face time focused - Horrendous bonuses
