They work in a trading floor
They work in a trading floor like environment and their hours are closer to market hours meaning they generally work around 80 hours. Less then the 100 hours.
Is it a modelling intensive
Is it a modelling intensive group or are they more of a DCM function / execution function negotiating the legal docs? Is it more important to just have a better understanding of debt structures / legals & credit agreements for the group?

It's a very cap. markets group. In fact, they break that team out into Global Markets or something (with ECM and DCM) and separate it from Global Banking (i.e. Comms./Media, Energy, Sponsors, etc.). You'll obviously need to understand cap. structures, but probably not much legal stuff (senior level people negotiate the OMs). Definitely a lot of pricing, though.
