MM Comparison

Does any have insight into how MM ER divisions compare? In particular, I'm interested in hearing about William Blair vs. Cowen.

I've recently applied to positions at both firms (awaiting word from recruiters) and want to know the head-to-head comparison. Yes, this request is premature given my place in the process. But outside of the job prospects, I want to hear some expert commentary around each.
