Thanks

ibreppin I have an acquaintance who worked there briefly. From what he has told me they work on deals $1 billion and are focused on all aspects of OFS and even equipment manufacturers (they worked on the NATCO acquisition when they were bought by Cameron). I can't comment on culture or current deal flow but they are one of hundreds in the Houston area.
Thanks for the info!
Yeah, I've heard they work in the OFS space. Guess I shouldn't expect much info on the bank from WSO since they are so small
ibreppin have you tried LinkedIn? I'm sure you can find folks who have or are currently working there. If you are in need and can't find anyone I can give you the name of the contact I know of who worked at PPHB.
Out of curiosity are you in IB right now? If so, would you be able to answer some questions via PM?
TTT - Anyone have any additional insight?
@BankerC159" what additional insight are you looking for? If its recruiting I believe they recruit at specific schools and probably includes UT and A&M (PPHB revamped their website but don't have a careers page so this is based on what I know speaking to former analyst that worked there).
Thanks for the post, a recruiter had mentioned this firm to me and I was just curious to the deal flow/comp/exit opportunities. I'd be looking at an Associate level, so not sure if your analyst connection has any insight into that.
I am an alum at the aforementioned firms, so thinking about networking with them.
TIA.
@BankerC159" I work in the O&G industry (OFS specifically) so what I can tell you is that there deal flow is definitely slower however, they did work on a SLB acquisition for Omron so I'm assuming they have very lean teams and are OK with slower deals that take time to materialize.
Firm specific, they are well known for OFS deals $1 billion as mentioned above and probably a good landing spot if OFS banking is your thing and you aren't able to get into Simmons.
Given my current situation I wouldn't be surprised if they saw an uptick in deals as the company I work for is actively being pitched and looking to make deals in strategic areas...its just slow and some of the executives need to be pushed in order to give the green light on acquisitions.
Anyways, getting back on track the analyst I know did a short term stint at PPHB and then moved onto Energy Ventures (PE-firm) so IB to PE is possible but I wouldn't expect to land a role at Warburg or First Reserve but I could be wrong.
I assume you're looking for IB for long term maybe? Mind if I PM you with some questions/thoughts? Thanks
I interviewed there a while ago. I can provide some insight
