If you're interviewing for the FP&A side, you're going to be doing mostly FP&A if not all FP&A. I interviewed there some time ago, interview process was good and the people were chill. They tried to pitch the IB/FP&A blend but unless the position is clearly defined as investment banking, you're mostly like going to be focused on the FP&A "Consulting." There aren't many banks in the area, Angle advisors (bad pay, good people), Cascade (better pay but still not good, good people), UHY (bad pay and also bad culture). I am not in that area anymore but there are a few more banks I can't name off the top of my head.
Thanks for your response.
I’m interviewing for an IB sell side role. How was the modeling and case study portion of the interview?
They only gave me technical and a pretty easy excel exam. Also it was a while ago so they have probably changed their process since then.
Thank you, this was helpful!
Cowen, Plante Moran CF, Donnelly Penman, Greenwich Capital Group are a few more sell side M&A Banks
Do you know anything about the pay or culture at Cowen's Birmingham, Michigan outfit (sell-side M&A)? I may have an opportunity there, but would have to leave my current position and want to know if it's worth the effort applying.

Pay is roughly street comp (so definitely solid if you cost adjust for Metro Detroit). They also seem to have decent culture / deal flow from what I understand
There are a number of decent banks in the metro Detroit area. Most of these spots go to sophomores from Michigan or sophs/juniors from MSU, though there are always some people from other schools both in the Midwest and not. As far as I know, FINNEA does pay but not much. However, it is one of the few metro D banks that pay. I believe (as above) that Cascade pays decently but it might be the outlier (they work you like a slave though). Perhaps the most notable of the Detroit area banks is DPP, which does not pay. Lorient is also notable and doesn’t pay.
FINNEA is generally competitive to land and will ask some techs but they aren’t bad. Not sure about the modeling test but my buddy who couldn’t model too well got to their final round.
Are you saying all these internship are unpaid?
A good number of them do not pay, unfortunately.
Lorient is a PE firm
My bad––slipped my mind when I wrote that.
