BMO NYC versus Peter J Solomon
Received associate offers from both firms with very similar comp structure. Anyone have any thoughts on either of the two shops?

Take PJSC - it's a more solid name in the M&A space with ok deal flow.
PJSC owns MM retail. If that's your calling, there is no better place.
PJSC is a legit bank, BMO is not considered 'true' IB
Thanks for the responses. Does anyone have any insight into the culture at PJSC?
Their website describes their culture & hours like heaven for analysts. But again it's their website
Doubtful on the hours.
The WSO Database has a review that emphasized "caveat emptor" in regards to PJS. This is not to mention the rudeness of the senior bankers during the interview process (or maybe this was intentional to see how the interviewee would react).
The culture at the junior level ( I can only speak from what I've seen from analysts there) is extremely social, even by banking standards - think late night crazy shit. Doesn't seem to carry as much into the associate level, and these guys do get worked hard on some weeks. Hours are neither particularly bad or good, and the morale seemed pretty high.
I would go with Peter J Solomon
PJSC by far. BMO has almost zero deal flow in their NYC office.
My boss is a former PJSC MD.... Let me tell you he is a serious hardass.
