Terrific new banking co-heads who are very focused on talent development

Downers

Long hours, but getting better through new exciting policies...some banks market these efforts. Baird means it.

Comments

Network and research the company thoroughly. Decide if a mid-market bank is right for you as it has many benefits over bulge.

It's a no **** kind of place. There are still people way too into themselves, but there is a collective, unconscious agreement at Baird to leave the attitudes at home and get things done

Brutal hours in the industrial group - all the way up the chain.

Comments

Be ready to work very hard and, as a result, be given a lot of responsibility at the junior levels (in comparison to peers at other firms). Baird has been crushing it in the middle market and that business success, while great for the Company, puts a lot of pressure on junior resources.
