Can anyone tell me about the firm's culture in their IBD? Anything detailed/group-specific is greatly appreciated! I have a phone interview this week.
Thanks,

Which office are you
Which office are you interviewing for? I recently had a first round interview for their NY office. Apparently they're still integrating (Stifel and TW are still in two separate offices). The VP who interviewed me, who was from the Weisel side, was pretty pumped about the merger and gave off the impression that the Stifel side felt the same way too. Kinda related, does anyone know if they had any superdays yet?
I believe I'm interviewing
I believe I'm interviewing for the Baltimore office; however, I was originally contacted by HR from SF.

An alumni from our WSI
An alumni from our WSI program works for Stifel Nicolaus now and although he didn't want to get into specific numbers, he had this to say:
"They are ramping up IB in a huge huge way. The reason for the merger was to build in roads into banking deals in healthcare and technology which was Thom Weisels specialty. Would have taken 10-15 years to gain legitmacy we did overnight with this deal. They are hiring young bankers like crazy right now. They just had a superday in the NY office and more are planned. The culture is insane right now as they have bankers everywhere from Baltimore to SF right now. NY is split between 2 offices. But, its an amazing place to be. We brought in this guy Victor Nesi who used to be head of IB for Merrill Lynch. We fully intend to be able to compete with the big boys as this thing grows. The emphasis has been on gettin bookrun deals we havent been able to get before and it's working. There will always be pushback as "competing" with the big boys is nearly impossible but being right there in the convo is the goal. Everyone is beyond pumped, this thing is growing and its a place to grow in because of the expansion. Great place to get in on the ground floor."
Hope this helps...

Does anyone know if they're planning to have another NY superday? I interviewed with them like 2 weeks ago and both interviewers have been unresponsive to any followup emails.

I'm in the same position. I think we should be hearing soon.
I know at least their SF
I know at least their SF office is having a second super day at the end of this month. I would imagine the same case for the larger office out in NY. They probably have multiple super days and are waiting for them to end before extending offers
I had a phone interview this

Another round of superdays are coming at the end of October at both their NYC and San Fran offices.
