MM IB Question

My youngest brother is a rising senior at a SE school that is well-regarded but is not in the Vandy/Emory/etc. category.

What are the thoughts on starting a career at a LMM IB? Decent launchpad? Hard to lateral? Disadvantage due to size? Advantage due to small team, more responsibility? The shop that is interested in him mainly focuses on industrials, consumer, services, and transportation. 

He is more into tech, but the odds of him landing a tech-focused role at this point is low. 

TLDR; decent or garbage?
