Comp in general is above average. Benefits I’d say are average.

If by transactions you mean TAG, it is pretty commoditized work (FDD/QoE) so you won’t see the restructuring/PEPI type comp that people will generally refer to.

Chicago office is nice, pretty empty during the week. I don’t think TAG travels much.

I can only say good things about PEPI culture, but have not really worked with other groups. Not sure what RB1 is going on about, but I’d be surprised to hear about a group with a terrible culture given our leadership.

Their PEPI group evolved from their bankruptcy practice and carved themselves a large niche in the PE market. The most exciting projects are their transformational change implementations. The work can be grueling, but the pay is comparable to MBB, except at the partner level of course.

Very bright group, top heavy so you get to work closely with the MD/SDs on daily basis. Culture is what you make it out of it, your comp is heavily based on your utilization, but the bonus is very lucrative if you can hit the utilization target

Worst restructuring shop when considering culture - the above comments on utilization speaks to their culture

A few months ago there were a bunch of articles on sexual harassment at the firm but can’t find those articles now

Refer to NYT’s blockbuster 2018 going after McK for all kinds of things...

Very entrepreneurial...in a good way. Restructuring and PEPI being best. Comp is highly perf based (can be a problem if you aren’t a go get it yourself type).

Thank you, everyone! Really appreciate the responses. Have a great week.

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.
