Evercore Houston Culture?
Energy banker in Houston. Heard bad things a while ago. Curious to hear if things have changed at all and how the group is doing these days.

Culture is grind house. Just like Jefferies
When I interviewed with them last year everyone I spoke to was really nice (a VP / MD) - I did read on this forum though that there's a lot of work.
Iv heard everything in Texas is sweaty
Everything is sweatier in tx
They play off their New York status and act kind of snobby despite being on the downtrend since covid. Would have been one of my top 3 choices prior to the last couple years. I’ve heard mixed things on the culture. Know they were pretty bloated but think they’ve been slimming out to the point now that I know they’re currently looking for some lateral associates
Had a friend that worked there and he got absolutely crushed. His entire analyst class actually left because of how sweaty it was getting. The group in general has been on the decline for a while, but that may turn around with oil prices back up / O&G deals coming back
WTI is at $100. There’s been a lot of deals hitting the market and competing against one another (would say it’s become more of a seller’s market). Haven’t really seen Evercore on anything besides 1776 Energy and one or two others lately
Can confirm that I heard something similar - the entire EVR first year analyst class all quit at the same time earlier this year
Spoke to an analyst, associate and a MD. From what the analyst told me, Houston as a whole, but especially Evercore is very chill compared to NYC. Definitely works where you're pulling 80-100 hours, but other weeks where it's close to 40-50. Apparently the culture is good too (hours aside), so probably worth checking it out.
I wonder what % are 40-50 hr wks. Is it 90% 80-100 hr wks and 10% 40-50 hr wks?
those guys lied to you lol - i know an analyst that quit 3 months into being on the desk lmao. Evercore has some of the most toxic cultures (not due to the hours, but the seniors).
Agree - never heard of them working 40-50 a week. Heard more 80 hours in 4 days stories
Houston is much sweatier than NYC. Hardly any lifestyle shops in Houston.
I got fucking nailed while I worked there, my division wasn't even top either
can you pm me, i have a call with them next week
Stay far away
SWEATTTYYYY
Had a zoom first round with them, it was the most low-energy interview i've ever had. Whole room was kinda depressed, everybody spoke in a monotone voice, one of the interviewers kept having random brain freezes mid-question. Just the weirdest experience overall, I logged out of there and was genuinely wondering if they are ok.
