I interviewed at Spartan a few years back. Didn't seem that legit to me (they were located in the second floor of another company's office space). Their website spartantsg dot com shows 4 senior bankers but they don't seem to be doing a lot of deals. I would avoid them... much better for you to try Intrepid, Imperial, Headwaters or Roth.
