I've read so much about EVR/CVP/Q on this forum, and yet I've never heard anyone in real life talk about the bank, nor have I ever seen anyone on LinkedIn or elsewhere actually work there. I go to a top target/semi-target, so my only conclusion is that it's not a real bank.

Can confirm real 👍
Thought this guy is talking abt their deal flow lol
Very real. Am at a top BB's tech practice and we lose larger deals to them pretty consistently. I heard they actively turn down all deals under $1bn and think they barely put any effort into pursuing smaller multi-billion dollar deals. They also charge much higher fees than us and we still lose most of the time. They are just the best tech firm and it isn't close.
funny former HP CEO banned the company they were acquiring from hiring Q as their banker, HP CEO flat out refused to sit in negotiations if Q was present, Q was still the lead banker but Evercore took over the communication with HP
Their reputation is where it is for a reason. They really know how to sell businesses. Ultimately feel like this is a sales and info game, and if you are a Cyberark or an Ansys or any other 10bn+ business looking to sell sell it does make a lot of sense to have the best salespeople with the most connections in the industry selling your business. The difference between Q and us maybe me a few bps in end outcome, if any, but that's pretty huge given size of these strategics being sold.
I also think a good IB is usually good for the sellers, not for the buyside client, Q represented HP on a different acquisition prior to the falling out and HP mgmt felt Q pushed them to overpay. Bruce Wassertein, one of the legendary bankers in history was a good sellside banker as he'd do anything to get the highest value for his clients, but when he represented a buyside client he always convinced them to overpay.
