I interviewed with them. Was really not impressed. Was told my first 6 months would be spent making pitch books.
Expect to be pitching your entire analyst career.
what about afterwards
bump!
Depends what groups you're looking at...if looking at tech, they recently lost their Internet research analyst to Barclays or MS, I believe, and their internet MD left for another MM shop, Pacific Crest I think. They will have pretty much no presence on IDM deals, but everything else should be alright. You will pitch a lot there, but also get some deal experience, better than a no name boutique for sure. My buddy is busy there, some 100 hour weeks, but not every week at all. You will get some sellside M&A experience and on the capital markets side, you will be a co-manager on 90% of deals that you're on. Hope that helps.
100 hour weeks, really...
any ideas about interviews here?
Needham & Company - Info on the firm? (Originally Posted: 11/01/2011)
I've looked through previous forums and there's really not much information on Needham out there. Can anyone help me out? I would like to get an idea about the culture at the firm, reputation, exit opps and possibly comp numbers - what's the base? What kind of bonuses have they paid out in the past? Thanks!
I know a former MD there, whom I respect at a personal level, though I don't really have intel on the firm itself. There's some traffic with Top 10 business schools at the analyst and associate level, but not much more to offer. .
A lot of non-target school kids there a very roll up your sleeves type culture there. Even the VPs bind their own pitchbooks, def a great firm and not a bad place to work at all. They deal with mostly equity deals, and don't do any type of debt financing there at all.
They seem to have a decent mixture of target and non-target kids. Everybody I have talked to has been extremely helpful and I definitely agree about the culture.
Permanent co-manager.
What does this mean? I've noticed this, but is it such a bad thing?
What about PE placement? Is it non-existent? I heard they used to pay below street before the crisis, is that still the case?
Needham can't be too bad, they bankrolled Raj when he had no street cred...
no pe placement.
What about comp? Someone out there has to know about base + bonus at Needham?
anyone?
Needham & Co. (Originally Posted: 10/13/2011)
Any information on the firm in terms of reputation, interview process, comp, exit opps, etc. would be appreciated.
Raj and some of his homeboys used to work there.
Yeah, and they were one of the underwriters for the Google IPO. That's about as much as I know..I need to know more though.
A friend of mine interviewed there for an associate level position. Apparently they value engineering/technical backgrounds over finance/business, etc... In terms of Interview process, it was rather informal (i.e. no real super day). Several interviews consisting of a phone interview, then three several hour long interviews with VPs & MDs.
They repped costar fuck that shit
Care to elaborate?
there's this dude you should ask his name's raj something...
Overkill
Anybody have input on their base salary + bonus/exit opps?
Needham & Company - Culture? (Originally Posted: 09/13/2011)
Has anyone ever interviewed for Needham & Company for an investment banking analyst position? Any tips? suggestions? What should I do to prepare?
Does anyone know about the culture as well? Thanks
