SF IB Best Banks/Groups

Can anyone please provide insights into how the SF firms generally are, specifically the BB / middle market banks and buyside (ex: RBC, DB, Lincoln, Alpine, Battery Ventures)? How are the exit opps, comp, culture?

Not asking about Q / GS / MS / EVR / LAZ / MOE, just the other BBs and MMs

Thank you!
