There's always the strong team atmosphere where everyone works for the success of the firm.

Salary $350K, all commission-based, no bonus.

Lehman really is about the "One Firm" culture. All people in all departments are willing to help out. There is great energry and enthusiasm and associates are treated as important people as they are given responsibility early on.

I was eating at the Subway in Westwood at 3am when I saw my friend walk in looking like a zombie. I said hi to him and he barely even noticed me. He was just taking a break from the Lehman office to get the Managers some Subway late night snack. I know the pay and experience is good, but you'll be walking around like a zombie for many nights at this company

I rarely have to work on the weekends in investment management.

Limited hierarchy, positive attitude and culture, merit based. Lehman is has an entrepreneurial feel and mostly everyone is happy to work here. Diversity is also exceptional regarding minorities. There is no other firm I would want to work at, Lehman has the best culture, momentum, and is overall great.

This firm is generally less uptight than other bulge bracket banks in terms of giving more responsibility to junior people. And it generally runs as a meritocracy where people are rewarded for the good work they do.

My work is very project based, when it's busy, it's busy. But it's not like that all the time.

Lehman is definitely on the way up, they are growing because of their great culture and work ethic.

Diversity at Lehman is unmatched. They pay a lot of attention towards minorities and women.

Lehman has a good team culture under its "one firm" mentality where everyone is willing to work hard for the good of the group. Dress isn't too formal.

People like to work hard and play hard at Lehman. There are also ample opportunities to work with senior bankers and you can get real responsibility. It works very much like a meritocracy.
