“People at Centerview care about maintaining a work/life balance. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with my quality of life here. As long as I communicate, I can usually make important plans. Managers do a great job letting their junior teams have free time. Additionally, there are great perks to the job, and I enjoy being in the office since the people are great. The nature of the job is of course long and unpredictable hours, so it can be hard at times, but that’s central to a client-facing job, and the culture and perks offset the negatives.”

“Rather than build out specific policies, Centerview rewards bankers who genuinely care about their teams. The hours can be long, the deadlines tight, and schedules get blown up—but you know your team always has your back. And once the crisis is past, staffing and senior leadership work diligently to make sure you get a break to recover. Our people know they will be listened to and taken seriously if they need a break—from the founders on down, the firm wants to foster an environment where people can see themselves staying for a long time.”

“I think Centerview makes banking as livable as possible. There are still times where it can be difficult, but that’s the nature of the industry and most of that discomfort comes from a client, not internally. Overall, I’d say the quality of life here is quite good. Very generous dinner stipend and good food/snack options plus a gym in the office makes it easier to stay healthy.”

“You work hard, as with all positions within the industry, but you are rewarded with interesting, thought-provoking work in the most complicated situations. Centerview is on the forefront of industry-defining transactions across both M&A and restructuring. People genuinely care about your well-being and development, in and outside of the office.”
