Intern Reviews


  • “All things considered, Lazard is respectful of our time and understanding that we have lives outside of work. This is a job in banking, so obviously the hours are long, but I was pleasantly surprised with how understanding/flexible people are.”
  • “Lazard's firm culture is second to none. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and kind and there are multiple support resources should you ever need help. I was struck by how close I was able to get with many of the employees over such a short period of time.”
  • “I've enjoyed my experience at the firm, but the hours can be very hard at times. Nothing new with investment banking, but the hours do vary depending on deal team and group.”
  • “People are friendly and willing to help. Work hours are long but I get to keep my weekends to myself, which is rare in this industry. Bosses actually care about the experience of junior staff and respect their personal time.”
