Stout SA 2025 - Insight on this bank?

Currently going through recruiting process for Stout SA 2025, from what I've heard they're a LMM bank but was wondering if anyone had any insight more than just the stuff that the bankers/HR are required to say about the bank in calls/interviews (great culture yadada) that every bank says.

Sweaty lifestyle? Comp? Reputation? Lateral opportunities to different sell-side bank? Exit opportunities to PE after working full time? Anyone have any info on this stuff?

Used to work there. Save yourself the time and don't bother applying. Below market base and bonus. Hardo MDs that can't close deals. Pipeline was slowing down considerably last I was there. Deal quality is trash, I've heard friends take the same company to market 4 times. A lot of recent growth has been driven by senior bankers that couldn't cut it at better shops and got fired. 

If it's the only IB opportunity you have, sure go for it, but I would strongly advise lateraling after a year.
