Piper Jaffray Bonus/Culture/etc

Question

Alright, I know Piper gets ripped apart unmercifully here, but I would really appreciate some honest answers here.  What I'm wondering is how their bonuses have been historically, particularly at the associate level.

Is pay in line with other MM banks (Baird, William Blair, Harris Williams, etc.)?
Does it vary much by office?
How dependent is it on how your individual group performs?

Any honest answers here would be much appreciated.  It tough to do a search on this site to find real information on PJC because 99% of it is shit.  Thanks in advance.

I would second that post. I don't understand all the hate. One reason might be a name similar to Jefferies. I know people at PJC from MDs to Analysts and they love their firm. My school tends to have many people high up at PJC and it really is a top notch bank. Haters gonna hate but PJC is not a bad bank to work at. I wish they employed international students! +1SB for you and finally someone had balls to say it out loud.

Come on man, you're doing that whole "talking out of your ass" thing again.

Beny, people at Piper clearly don't love their firm. The turnover is among the worst in IB, let alone at the MM level.
