I interviewed with them. Was really not impressed. Was told my first 6 months would be spent making pitch books.

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.

 

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. .

The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
 

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.
