Deutsche Bank (DB) London Reputation and Exits

How would you position Deutsche Bank in London / Europe currently (relative to other BBs (e.g. UBS) and EBs)?

Any thoughts on their Industrials team? Heard it's one of their strongest (if not one of the strongest on the street). Any idea of which sub-verticals are strongest?

Do they exit well (is it mostly MM PE or is UMM / MF also possible)? From other threads, it seems it's more a lateral platform to top BBs vs. getting good PE seats - would you agree?

I've not interviewed there or spoken with anyone at DB, so any insights on current culture would also be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Best sector team but weaker compared to other BBs in EMEA as JP/MS/GS take the big mandates.

If you can choose a team, pick DB Leveraged Finance.

LF has got the best prestige, one of the best EMEA LevFin franchise, and better exits compared to most sector 

So pick LF, if you have a choice

If you like 4ams every night with toxic culture for middle market deals, pick Industrials
