FE International, the M&A advisory firm specializing in SaaS, e-commerce, and content businesses, generally gets positive marks from employees. It holds a 4.0 out of 5 rating on Glassdoor from 34 reviews, in line with the financial services industry average, and 79% of employees would recommend it to a friend.
Reviewers frequently praise the collaborative culture, strong mentorship, fast growth, and deal exposure for junior staff. The main downsides cited are long hours, including weekends, and limited work-life balance.
Overall, it seems like a good fit for people wanting an intense, fast-paced M&A environment with real responsibility early on, but less ideal for those prioritizing work-life balance.
