How does Stifel compare to HL, RJ, Baird, Blair

I've looked through other posts that mention Stifel on this forum, and I've seen a lot of people trashing them. Based on the league tables, they seem to be a pretty good firm. Am I missing something? Also, is it possible to move into MM PE from Stifel? Ran a quick LinkedIn search and wasn't able to find anyone who had made the transition.
