My Friend Chose FT Partners over Qatalyst...

Long story short, a friend of mine told me that he got an SA offer from FTP and Q, and ultimately decided to go with Q over FTP as he claims that the comp and culture at FTP are better (apparently he heard somewhere that lowkey the culture at Q is the same if not worst than FTP). Now to be honest, this kid has lied to me in the past before but he's one of the smartest people I know and we both go to a Q/FTP target school. I am not sure whether I should buy his story or not. Would any of you take Q over FTP? and is the comp at FTP higher than the comp at Q?
