I work in Corporate Banking at a very large bank, and have never seen them in a single deal - even at the lowest commitment tier

Does it matter? A jobs a job, if you have long term goals in the industry this might be a good starting point if you have nothing else.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 

I know some general info: they have a decent-sized focus on the corporate sector, and specific industries (TMT, financial sponsors, industrials, and energy) - of course, this means dealing w/ loans and not necessarily their IB activities. Personally, I've seen them on the bottom of a couple of our deals, if any at all.

However, I would shy away for now due to the recent news (departure of major executive), and losses. And if you follow the news, you'll know that it's not necessarily a good time to be in Spain/work for a Spanish bank :)

Just my two cents.
