I was wondering what the standing of RJ was for their IBD over the recent years, and if they are a good company to begin working for in terms of growth and industry knowledge?

RJ's reputation is very group dependent. I know that their Tech & Services group is particularly strong. Exit opps tend to be MM PE, such as Stone Point, TA Associates, Summit, and JMI.
What about their Financial Institutions, Defense & Gov Services, Real Estate, and Industrials?
Hello there! What are your thoughts on their financial services and industrials teams? I have a superday at their Chicago office and I’m hunting for some more insight...
Do you know anything about the pre-superday assessment?
I can also confirm that their Technology & Services group is impressive. Scott Green.
He just left for Guggenheim wow
Can confirm with above. RJ’s Tech & Services Group has crazy deal flow. I know a guy who went to Accel-KKR after his analyst stint.
Tech & Serv is by far the strongest, but Security & Defense and Real Estate have both advised on a number of notable deals.
Are you applying for 2019 sa?
extremely prestigious
haha omg!! lol. I would def stay as far clear from RJ as possible. I have a girlfriend who worked there and she said that it was extremely toxic and male dominated and that the women at the firm were degraded, spoken to badly, and not treated with respect compared to men. She also said she was in the Healthcare group and had essentially no deal flow, most of her work was just like pitching and she hardly got like any modeling or actual deal experience. One of her VP's left the firm and is supposedly pressing some sexual assault allegations also.
i’m applying for winter 2019 (off-cycle toronto) wondering if anyone has insights on the program in that office
Anyone have any color on their Recapitalization & Restructuring group in NY?
Got rejection email yesterday.
Thanks Intern101. Anybody else on the group itself?
had an on campus first round interview last week and haven’t heard back since. anyone else?
Bump - Any information on their Chicago Industrials team?
Can't speak to Chicago, but I am in process somewhere else after reaching out to Alumni. Decided I would rather be back home than where my other offers would place me. Hopefully things work out and the timeline isn't too long.
good luck. Mind if i PM you?
Go for it
Superday went out this morning
Is this for summer 2020? My interest is in an immediate lateral.
That may be FT. Superday for SA was early Oct
Do you know anything about the pre-superday assessment?
Tech and Services absolutely fucks. Have heard good things about that team in boston.
