How Do Investment Bankers View Equity Research?

I’ve always thought of IB and ER as two different career paths for different types of people and I honestly feel like I fit in better with the ER crowd. What I would really like to know is how Bankers view ER teams, or if any ER analysts would like to say if they share my views on bankers. I’m simply interested in the dynamics between groups at banks and if any departments are looked down upon for various reasons, or if it is a largely cordial atmosphere within banks themselves.
