Opinion on Gleacher Shacklock (London)?

What are people’s opinions of Gleacher Shacklock? I have a grad offer there for M&A and SSG (Special Situations). Can’t say I heard of it before last year so was wondering what the perception of the firm was like as it’s pretty small.

Thank you!

Gleacher is a very good MM firm - therefore placing well into UK LMM and MM PE at best. Heard they didn't convert many interns this year as they are really worried about Brexit as a UK focused firm. Culture is good, and you could move to EBs/BBs quite easily.

The SSG is pretty good and there is some cool stuff covered by the M&A team every now and then ie GKN takeover by Melrose.

 

Hi so I don’t care about buy-side exits - I just want to really work in M&A or Restructuring going forward as I love it... with this in mind, would Gleacher Shacklock be a good place to start career?
