Leonardo & Co.

Hey guys,
what's your take on Leonardo & Co.? I guess it is pretty unknown in the US since they are only active in Europe, but what do you European monkeys think of the bank?
Any info on hours, pay, atmosphere? And will analysts be placed in one product group like M&A, DCM, etc. or will you be doing everything?
Thanks in advance!

Obviously not as good as BBs, elite boutiques, MMs (Jeff, Baird, RBC, BNP, Nomura...), but I guess that it is one of the better "less internationally known" boutiques in Germany, especially if you plan to stay there.

Not sure about groups placement. Pay - that one you should search on google, easy to find, don't make me do your research. Deals (all groups together) range from 6+ bn to 20mm and less.

 

That doesn't sound bad actually. Any infos on hours? And is the pay comparable to LAZ/RS/etc.?

And does anyone know if they are planning to open a London office anytime soon?

thanks again!

 

Similar to some UK boutiques i.e. tries to fly under the radar.

Has recently brought in some strong people. Dealflow will be good and some deals are quite impressive (bn's #)

Company will have some huge variation in terms of deals and strengths because they bough various bits and pieces of "high" quality assets across Europe. Ex Druecker team in Germany - well regarded. Would be interesting to hear from someone with some insight how integrated the offices are.

I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.
