Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that Nomura has a solid reputation in London. However, the specific groups that are considered the best aren't mentioned in the context. It's also worth noting that when Nomura works on M&A transactions, they often advise a Japanese client. This can be a unique experience, although it can also be challenging due to the decision-making process and bureaucracy.
As for the reputation, having "Investment Banking Summer Analyst at Nomura" on your resume can certainly attract attention from other firms if you decide to recruit full time.
Remember, these are just general observations. The best group for you would depend on your specific interests, skills, and career goals.

Unlike its USA counterpart, it’s actually good.
The best groups would be Greentech and Consumer in terms of coverage teams and dealflow. ALF is what it is in the current market (not great), and be aware that Nomura doesn't underwrite equities so doesn't have an ECM team per se, but an Equity Advisory team
Consumer deal flow is non existant this year
Ofc it is. It's basically a beverages franchise now that HG left

Team is pretty decent but culture is absolutely horrible, with seniors being absolute douche with juniors.
