I know there have been threads on this already, but most have been discussing the boutiques or are a few years old.
I was wondering what general rankings are for BBs specifically JPM, Barcap, CS, Jeffries, BAML, MS, GS, UBS in Houston.
Looking at exit ops, deal flow, prestige, and comments on culture if anyone works at these places.

Why is it that BarCap and CS are on the top? Is it just the better placement or do they have overall better dealflow?
And does anyone have 2012 energy league tables. Was it basically this ranking above?

I don't have the actual numbers on me at the moment, but Barclays is always near the top of the oil and gas league tables both for M&A and equity issuance
Barclays inherited the Lehman team, which supposedly was one of the best (anecdotal - before my time)
If you look at M&A oil and gas league tables, you will see Barclays, CS, Citi, GS, JPM, Jefferies, BAML, RBC, BMO, and Tudor Pickering Holt (oil and gas E&P tables)...Morgan Stanley, UBS and DB (def UBS and DB) probably won't be top 10, at least for 2012....UBS and Wells Fargo will be there if you look at equity issuance league tables
Simmons doesn't make league tables b/c it is a smaller firm and often work on deals where the transaction value is not disclosed; it's well-regarded firm, especially in the oilfield services space.
What about culture? Worse
What about culture? Worse hours at BarCap/CS than the other places? Or is it all about the same in Houston

Barclays might have the best hours.
And CS might have the worst.
And CS might have the worst.
How good are Barclays hours?
How good are Barclays hours? How much more per week does CS work?
And what about the other banks, better/worse hours?
Anyone have the actual league tables?

Those specific boutiques are all great.
Simmons has great work/life balance and has had some analysts move on to PE. As mentioned above, very well regarded in the OFS space.
TPH has really solid deal flow, pretty good work/life balance and great placement lately.
Evercore has been killing it in the midstream space. Had an analyst land at Denham a year or two ago, but haven't seen much else in terms of placement other than that.
Greenhill hasn't really been on any notable deals, but every analyst has placed in PE (though they only take one a year).

They are on top because of both deal flow and placement. Barclays has, without a doubt, the best deal flow. CS has great deal flow, but a little light on M&A. Pretty much all analysts for the last several years have placed at top PE shops for both firms.
How good are Barclays hours? How much more per week does CS work?
And what about the other banks, better/worse hours?
Anyone have the actual league tables?
As mentioned above, Barclays has pretty good hours (especially considering deal flow). JPM and Jefferies have pretty good hours too. CS, MS, Citi and BAML have pretty bad hours.
Don't worry about league tables. You won't see Greenhill on any league tables, but they always place their analyst. As I mentioned above, Barclays and CS have perennially placed at top shops and have a great network in the PE world. TPH and Lazard have placed well lately. JPM, Citi, BAML and Simmons will place here and there. There are definitely some recent threads out there with more details on placement.
Looking at Citi vs CS vs MS.
Looking at Citi vs CS vs MS. Sounds like CS is the best option, but Citi has much better hours? Which offer would you take? Is CS basically guaranteed placement?

Citi does not have much better hours. Those 3 might have the worst in Houston.

Global Oil & Gas M&A volume in 2012 was $348 Billion, this is the most in the past decade from 2002-2012, marking a 48% increase over 2011's volume.
Barclays had a 30% share in the global volume... Also, their analysts place phenomenally well.

Citi does not have much better hours. Those 3 might have the worst in Houston.
So CS because of the better placement/because it's the strongest group of the 3?
If you have offers from all 3
