I (sophomore at non target) have an upcoming interview for unpaid off cycle analyst at Winfield Thorne. This seems like a new firm, is it legit? Has anyone heard of it, and do bankers recommend I take this internship if offered?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there is no specific mention of Winfield Thorne in the provided dataset. However, unpaid internships, especially at smaller or newer firms, are often discussed in the context of breaking into finance. Here are some key considerations:
Legitimacy of the Firm: If the firm is new or less known, conduct thorough due diligence. Research their website, LinkedIn presence, and any deals or projects they may have worked on. Reach out to current or former employees if possible.
Value of Unpaid Internships: Unpaid internships can be a stepping stone, especially for non-target students, as they provide experience and networking opportunities. However, ensure the internship offers meaningful work (e.g., financial modeling, deal exposure) rather than just administrative tasks.
Recommendation: If this is your only opportunity and the work aligns with your career goals, it could be worth considering. However, weigh it against other potential opportunities and ensure it adds value to your resume.
If you need more specific advice, consider asking on WSO forums where users might have direct experience with the firm.
