I don't know about prestige, but I heard it has a pretty good working environment. Some said it's a little behind the times though.

Stellar investment performance

Don't see why not. It's got a good reputation - just make sure your own performance measures up.

They’re sweaty but have good business school placement

Hours are on the longer side

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
