Stifel hires the best and brightest.
Employee - Associate
Has an excellent senior equity research group (I can only speak of the E&P Group, where I worked). Also, Ron is an amazing CEO and SN growing rapidly, acquiring many of its competitors, is proof of that.
Employee - Vice President
They were unwilling to use balance sheet for fixed income ( except muni)
Employee - Vice President
Stifel is an equity shop first and foremost.
Employee - Vice President
Felt like a small fish in big bowl working at Stifel.
Employee - Associate
Associate promotion structure makes no sense; beneficial to Analyst3 financially (January 1 of 3rd year promotion for An3 committed to staying as As1). Creates complications with distribution of work / deal team structure.
Employee - Associate
I am proud to have Stifel Healthcare on my resume when the biotech market was extremely hot; that said, limited M&A deal closure rate for HC group
Employee - Associate
Culture depends what group you work for. HC / Tech / FIG (KBW) are most respected groups in the firm; you will be worked like bulge banks; other non-growth focused groups have much more relaxed lifestyle (consumer / metals & mining / transportation / etc)
Employee - Associate
Very top down culture, not enough deals, very shady HR policies in Chicago public finance division
Employee - Associate
Very top down in specific offices and divisions like Chicago public finance team. Leadership was not transparent and did not take into account employee opinions at all.
Employee - Vice President
Who you are friends with is more important than being good at your job. Talented smart people tend to leave this company fairly quickly. They definitely make you feel like you are just a number rather than a name.
Employee - Vice President
Terrible culture. Smart people don't stay long.
Employee - Vice President
Working at Stifel is like working with immature playground bullies.
