They're number one in the league tables and are generally top three, so strong within the space. You can read elsewhere on here about this, but the skill set in IG DCM is not a strong as other capital markets roles.
On an absolute basis, this is a very a sweet gig: similar pay to other groups, better hours, good brand name. That said, your exit opportunities are limited to other IG DCM groups and business school (corp treasury seems plausible, let's hear what other think as I have never been in capital markets). So it's not a good decision if you want to go to a PE / HF shop at some point. If you perform and network well, lateraling to a different front office group may be quite likely as well I suppose.

Just curious (not being snarky) - what capital markets roles do you think are better?

Curious as well. Unless you consider LevFin a "capital markets" role (which I would not) - I have always heard that the DCM skillset is more analytical than the ECM one, and possible transferable to buysideopportunities to fixed income focused funds/houses (think PIMCO).
More specifically, I am talking about "Loans," a subgroup of DCM. The skill-set is less transferable because they don't work with bonds. That's my understanding.
