I've seen Telos winning some significant mandates recently - sold Chartable to Spotify last year. Founded by BB/EB alumni, seems like an up-and-coming major player in Tech/Media.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how they are currently stacking up against the notable banks in the space (LionTree/Tidal/CVP) ?

Rofl. Did you just get an offer there and are trying to hype yourself up?
.
They are essentially the tech/media team from another LA boutique Montgomery and Co which closed shop in 2013
They run really lean and I was told by a VP who was with them for a year that it was a toxic environment
Honestly my opinion might be biased - only had a chat with one of the current junior bankers and it left a sour taste in my mouth, but hearing from the past VP’s experience it supported my impressions towards them
have heard similar things about them too
Bump. Would love as much info on them as possible.

I believe their FT 2024 process is currently ongoing for those interested in recruiting there, some interviews are out, unsure if they will do more rounds.

is it mostly target school or any context on how to get into the process?
Spotify / Chartable was like a $100M deal, hardly anywhere near those comps...
Bump - would love to hear more about these guys. Specifically, any details on 'toxic environment' claims??

srry, a year late, but they recently posted an opening at my school's handshake - $75-85K/year definitely NOT on par with EB salary, especially given the location in Santa Monica, CA.
yeah I’ve seen the same. do you have any other info about the firm or interview process or just relaying what you’ve seen on handshake?
it's on my college's handshake and have a friend who was in the process with them and he echoed the sour taste comments stated above. probs not a bad place to start if you have no other options, but would use as a lateral stepping stone.
$75-85K/yr is definitely NOT enough to live comfortably in Santa Monica IMO.
$75-85K/year in santa monica CA??? yuck...
and they're back on my college's career website, preying on the current graduating class. there's no way that they got anything on LionTree/Tidal/CVP if they're paying $75-85K for analysts to live and work in santa monica...
oh well, given the economy, they should have some solid candidates to interview.
