Lazard Middle Market - Reputation?

Looking for anything anyone knows regarding their reputation.. i.e. how large of a prestige stepdown they are than parent co., hours, exit opps, street consensus, etc.

Not comparable to parent Lazard. Was bought as the former Goldsmith Agio Helms in Minneapolis and has since been expanded to other areas (Chicago, Charlotte, NYC, etc.).

Hours can be heavy. Not Piper bad, but expect 85-95 as an analyst. Comp is street.

There are some MM PE funds that have multiple Lazard guys, mostly based in Minneapolis or Chicago. That's really your exit opp, aside from Corp Dev. Minneapolis is the strongest and largest office still. Industrials is decent and Food & Bev has been doing well the past couple of years.

I don't think they are that far off from Blair and Baird, but certainly closer to a Lincoln.
