MS LA - Any input on culture?

Hey guys,

Currently in the process with MS LA - Just wanted to know if anyone had any input on the culture of the office here? I understand that deal flow isn't bad (SF and LA make up west coast advisory) but I heard mixed things about the culture/hours.

Any input is appreciated!

I remember while going through the process that they were very laid back and are flexible with you working in the SF or LA office here and there. They also do some work with the menlo park office which is very strong. Small office so you get a great experience there and all M&A is done in-house, no outsourcing. Hours wise I am not sure... maybe someone else can chime in on that
