A&D Houston - TPH vs Citi vs RBC

Just want to get your opinions on how the 3 compare to each other in Houston. I know Citi is rebuilding their A&D group after most left to join another BB. Both RBC & TPH seem to get good deal flow and I've heard good things about RBC culture but don't have any connections at TPH. Any info will be much appreciated.

What are you looking for someone to tell you exactly? Citi is dog crap. Don't go there. RBC and TPH are solid. TPH is more diverse and has the added research piece that helps add legitimacy when it comes to industry knowledge

 

Their deal flow was pretty effing good - definitely midstream heavy but a lot of headline M&A. But the hours are abhorrent and the bonuses were a joke (esp in light of how good deal flow was). This was not a shake up, this was 2 MD's, damn near every associate, a few analysts, and a few VP's leaving (all to different places) over the course of a year. And that is not even including the A&D mass exodus.
