Citizen’s Bank/JMP IB

What are peoples’ opinions on Citizen’s Bank and their acquisition of JMP? It seems like Citizen’s is revamping their IB platform and sitting on boatloads of cash, but would really appreciate any insight on the two and what it could mean going forward. Any information is helpful! Thanks.

Have multiple friends who interned there and are working there full-time. Below is my collective 2nd hand insight.

Definitely a rapidly growing shop. They are growing quickly, but are also focused on building a good culture. Currently it's a bit bro-ish and lacking diversity, but few assholes and generally pretty welcoming.

One cool thing about Citizens is that every group does M&A in house so you'll get great experience regardless of placement. I mentioned earlier they are growing, so there is definitely a high degree of pitching relative to bigger name shops.

Overall if you want to be in Atlanta, Citizens is worth taking a look at.
