Best Houston banks for culture / hours?
With Houston recruiting in full swing I thought this thread could be useful. It seems like the consensus is that all the BB’s and EBs will position analysts pretty well for the same exit oops and it’s much more tied to your individual performance aptitude than where you’re at institutionally. This would indicate to me that culture is really the best way to make a decision so you can at least somewhat enjoy your time. Thoughts?
I feel like most of Houston recruiting is done. But, from my experience interviewing this year, I really liked the culture at BMO, TPH, Moelis, and Wells. It seems like Jefferies has the worst hours in Houston but amazing dealflow.
kinda got in touch with the Evercore Houston team by accident (i didn't pursue the process as i had no interest in energy) but from talking to the team they seem to have a really laid back, broey culture, no facetime, and excellent deal flow
From what I’ve heard from someone who has a friend in the Evercore Houston office, I’ve heard their analysts get worked HARD. Guy said he pulled 135 hours one week. Can’t confirm or deny myself based off personal knowledge but something to consider/look into while interviewing
Houston Boutique Bank Hours (Originally Posted: 01/07/2017)
I'm looking to get some info on Houston boutique (energy) bank hours. Can anyone shed some light?
Looking for bank-specific hours (ie not Houston boutique hours in general). Primarily interested in hours but additional info on culture would be helpful, too.
Looking at these banks: Simmons TPH Moelis Evercore Jefferies
Most of these places have changed significantly in the last few years and there's not a lot of recent info on hours (or culture) available, so it'd be great to get info on each of these.
Thanks

Evercore and Jefferies = total grindhouse. Heard good things about Evercore's culture and bad things about jefferies Simmons = Good hours and culture but gotten worse last couple years TPH = Longish hours, heard they have a good/social culture Moelis = No one knows anything about them
I would generally agree with the above but note that Evercore probably depends on how much time you spend on midstream (more is worse for your life).
Regarding the OPs comments, i dont think any of those places have changed much with the exception of Simmons. and even that's more on the securities side due to overlap with Piper. Evercore is the same, Jefferies is the same, TPH is the same (PWP thing isn't going to matter until they take it all public in a few years), Moelis - no idea what they were or what they are now.
Suffice it to say i promise every BB in Houston has changed more than any of the boutiques.
Can you provide more details on the ways the BBs have changed? Thanks!!
