- “As a summer analyst, I believe that the firm culture was amazing at the Boston office. Everyone was so friendly, supportive, and willing to go out of their way to help you out in any way possible. The hours I was required to work [were] honestly about 40-50, and full-timers protected summers as much as possible from any egregious work hours.”
