PJT M&A NY Group and Pod Placement

Incoming FT Analyst this summer and curious to know the latest on culture, deal flow, modeling experience by group. Know there’s a few prior threads on the subject but wanted to start a new thread to get the latest. Also any advice on ranking groups for pod placement would be appreciated
