Career Resources
To be honest, very hard to categorise them. They're a boutique with only one office. A lot of the Partners/Senior Execs there have insanely impressive backgrounds, virtually all Oxbridge --> Goldman Sachs/Lehman/JPM etc. Understand they have a decent RX presence. Their website includes a list of huge transactions, although I doubt they were the exclusive lead financial advisor in most of them. Seen exits into other EBs and some Infra funds. Culture there seems a very Old School British Banking vibe.
Thank you for your input!
I've seen pretty good exits on LinkedIn, but I have heard also they don't have a great culture; I have a friend who had a very unpleasant interview.
Agree with the above, a small shop with what I believe is an old-school banking vibe with (very) well-educated seniors who have very well-established industry connections - don't see them as an exclusive advisor but they clearly have some expertise as they're on some pretty massive deals.
Definitely above DC Advisory, yes.
Former DC analyst here - Gleacher leaps and bounds above DC.
Is anyone aware of their recruitment process?
For what level?
I am in the 3rd year of my UG, do they hire straightaway as an Analyst or only after an internship? Recruitment process for either of the two would be appreciated. Thanks!
Done through Freshminds (Also do Greenhill in London). Application is 3 questions (short-answer ie 200 words) on how to find information for an acquisition target. Then second round interview and progress to AC. AC is group case study, slightly technical interview and cultural fit. At the AC, they don't see or have your CV as they interview you to make it a 'blind' process. 20 people are invited to the AC, Gleacher usually pick 4 girls and 4 boys.
Thanks very much for this! Are you aware of their salary levels as well ? Analyst 1?
Just to add on, the technical interview is different for every candidate and seemed like it was catered to each person's background (i.e. finance v non-finance ug study). In terms of you being in 3rd year of your course, I remember meeting people in their final year at the AC for Gleacher. But not sure if they recruit straight into FT, but definitely offer Off-cycles and Summers.
How did I know this was British and read title in heavy Irish accent without ever hearing of this firm before.
I interned there a long time ago so take it with a pinch of salt.
I broadly agree with the comments above:
Agreed, very old-school British public school. Huge affinity for Oxbridge. And yes, the no brown into town thing is very very believable. Spot on with UK-focus, they did do some work on Thames Water (or another similar water company that was facing bankruptcy if I remember correctly). Given how established their partners are, I'd hazard a guess a lot of their deals are from legacy relationships.
