I don’t know anything about deal flow or the experience you’ll get, but have heard the culture is absolute trash from numerous RBC summer analysts and full time employees. FIG and RE are the two groups at RBC that aren’t ‘RBC nice’ and are known to be toxic. Juniors apparently get bitched at 24/7.

Avoid at all costs.
How big is RBC FIG at each level? Mind if I PM?
Bump 2026?
What about SpecFin and AM
One of the stronger insurance groups on the street. Aquarian deal for Brighthouse was big and they are or have been on many big IPOs in the past few years. Have some sell-sides going too. They added some strong people recently. Culture is bad sure but can you tell me a single fig group on the street with good culture? Can you name one that doesn't have pitch work and deal chasing? At least they have some of these big ones. I rest my case.....
This what you spend your saturday night doing? Jeez. Tells you enough about the culture.
Sounds like the kid who wrote this
Actually the worst group on the street
what's their deal flow like? ive heard the higher deal-flow groups at rbc r more sweaty
Very bad real deal flow. Virtually no M&A. Mostly pitching and shitty cap markets crap. On top of that, sweatshop hours and psychopathic monsters.
i'm getting goosebumps
This is very true. Horrible leadership with incompetent juniors. I’ve never heard anything good about the group. There is no M&A, and even if they get a deal, it’s financing because they are the lender. Group head is know to fuck people over
This is pretty accurate
If you're in PU&I or Industrials you will work on multi-billion dollar deals and compete with BBs
If you're in any other coverage group you get scraps / buyside financings / non-lead ECM
The team is pretty good in insurance. They did the Brighthouse deal on the buyside with Aquarian.
Yes on the Life insurance side but not on other subverticals. We have strong MD/D supporting Life but not brokers or P&C. That’s why you would have heard us did the Brighthouse deal but not other P&C or broker ones. We have terrible associates that focus on those two subverticals.
You guys were left lead on an ipo last week in P&C…
bump. btw what does "assessment" on workday mean? all my other apps are on "under review" or "application received"
