Is Setter Capital basically the Tobin & Co. of Canada?

I've heard some sketchy things about this firm. I get that Setter is kinda different than Tobin in that they're more PE secondaries advisory rather than straight M&A like Tobin, and they actually (gasp) pay their analysts, but they have many of the same issues (highly toxic leadership, bad reputation on the street, high turnover, low comp, fake glowing reviews on glassdoor). I also heard their "analysts" are basically telemarketers who operate boiler room-style. So would it be appropriate to call them Canada's equivalent of Tobin & Co?
