Based on the most helpful WSO content, Gleacher Shacklock is a smaller firm, and its perception seems to vary. While there isn't a detailed breakdown of culture, hours, or deal flow in the provided context, the firm is noted for its focus on M&A and Special Situations. It appears to lean towards a more boutique-style operation, which might suggest a focus on fewer, high-quality deals rather than a high volume of mid-market transactions. However, specifics about whether they target "whale deals" or mid-market deals aren't explicitly clarified.

If you're considering an offer or exploring the firm, it might be worth reaching out to current or former employees for firsthand insights into their culture, work-life balance, and deal strategy.
