sucks, sucks, and sucks. Worked there many years ago and still know people there. Honestly, have not spoken to them in awhile but that is what it was like. Very old school/white shoe and you had to be "plugged in" to get anywhere, moreso than any other place I've been at.

+1. I interviewed with their Boston office about 10 years ago. The place felt very stiff upper lip to me.

Wow, they still exist? I remember researching them when I was pressed about getting into Banking (like 10 years ago).

Downside? You'll have to bend down a lot, which, in your case, isn't an actually a down.

It really depends on what your doing for BBH. Great FX/Currency dept. but thats pretty much where it ends. Pay scale is comparable to every other Boston custodial bank. Honestly cant believe they survived last year and didnt get eaten up by one of the publics.

If all you're looking for is getting sh*tfaced every thursday night and doing the bare minimum, this is the palce.
