Sweatiest Banks in Houston?

Want to recruit for SA 2022 in Houston as I am from Texas and want to be there post graduation. Which banks are the sweatiest? Specifically curious about Moelis, Evercore, Greenhill, Guggenheim, TPH etc.

Jefferies is probably the single biggest sweatshop for Houston, but it's also one of the top banks for Houston. 

TPH isn't known as a sweatshop and I am pretty sure they have a big emphasis on time outside office or something too so probably really good WLB.

Greenhill apparently saw its seniors be poached by another bank so its deal flow isn't the best right now. So either they are pitching like crazy and that's why it gets sweaty or they aren't working as much.

 

I have a friend who interned there a few years ago and he said he had 1 day off the entire summer. 

 

Growing platform and are definitely expanding their market share during the downturn. I know they've brought a few of their RX guys down from NYC and were able to get an MD from Scotia a couple years ago. Seem like a solid shop with a really good culture but there are probably other threads out there that can give you better insight

 

I’ve spoken to a few people in the GS office. I’ve heard they’re constantly working like a sweatshop.

 

I met an evr analyst back in 2018 and he was awake for 50 hrs straight. Surprised he still came down to meet

 

don't know about CS but Citi has a big work hard - play hard culture. It used to be a sweatshop (might still be one), but the juniors seem really close, and some might call them fratty. They also have one of the biggest classes (around 10) in Houston which I know for SA 2021 didn't see any cuts, so IMO that's a benefit specially compared to other banks which take 3-4 people.
