Best Groups at SMBC? Culture?

Haven't been able to find very much information about SMBC on this forum and am curious to hear from anyone's perspectives or experiences at the firm. Especially what the best coverage groups are and what the culture is like? I know SMBC has strong LevFin, Project Finance, and DCM teams, but interested in knowing what the best industry verticals in CIBC are. Thanks!
