I wanted to learn more about what PWPs culture is like - Hours, PE support/exits, and then if there is any FaceTime culture. Before anyone says it, I did receive an offer at the firm.

I mean you meet what, like 5-8 people during a super day? You might get a sense for culture but it's a perfectly legitimate question. For what it's worth, I've heard it pretty solid at the analyst level in that they all get along well and there's good camaraderie. I also get the sense analysts aren't viewed as being quite as expendable as at other firms so your work tends to be higher order / more interesting and you're spending more time with clients. It's probably worth shooting a note to an analyst or two you met during the process to ask them to candidly share their experiences.

id respectfully have to disagree - i went through the process for PWP a year or two ago, didnt get an offer, and ultimately signed at moelis. Would 100% have taken PWP if I did get an offer though. I know multiple people there and they get the same amount of looks I get/lazard/pjt, but since they seem to have less PE hardos/that type of culture, people mistakenly think they have worse exits. i know it seems like im shitting on my own bank but i am a little salty PWP analysts who want to do PE get to the same place as people at lazard/moelis will get, but without having to sacrifice their sanity for 2 years.

also seems like you're an intern so please stop spouting misinformation. top bucket analyst literally does not matter these days since on cycle PE recruiting literally happens right as you hit the desk. in my experience bank name/group only matters to get the look, and GS/MS/JPM and PWP/MOE/LAZ/EVR/CVP/PJT all get looks everywhere, with Citi/CS/BOFA/Barclays/Greenhill, a little under
