Evercore has great culture, above street pay, and excellent ops. DB has street pay, good to questionable culture, depending on the group, and solid exits (despite what people say about this bank, the 'top groups' at DB still place). Guggenheim I think pays street, works very long hours, and doesnt have great exits.

Deal-wise Evercore is the most active. You saw Guggenheim a lot last year - but I don't know what big mandates they have been on this year and the M&A market has been quieter overall. I didn't see DB a lot this year or last year.

Evercore is a top shop by many people's standards and I would strongly recommend going there.
