They're good but a lot of the work they do is more in line with what a TAS group does, ie, outsourced diligence for PE sponsors that largely do their own financial work. 

That said they've got great clients and you can see that their previous employees have done well for themselves. If I had to guess their hours are probably way lighter and less hectic than your typical sell-side M&A group. 

 

Correct. Only do buy-side advisory, but they're great to work with. Most of their management has CD backgrounds versus sell-side chops so it's much different than your typical M&A / sell-side shop. 

That said, they have a really strong core competency / niche that they excel at and if you are going to join a boutique that is precisely what you want. Don't have to be on the leaderboard for every league table in existence you've just got to have at least one specific core competency that you crush in.

Heard from a solid source they at three returned ZERO interns this year out of 5 quality candidates. I would stay away from this firm at all costs

 

Echoing the above - they returned zero of their interns. Please stay away.
