Top Ten Investment Banking Groups

Hello All,

Just for fun, I thought it would be interesting to get everyone's take on the top 10 groups in investment banking considering reputation, dealflow, senior leaders within group, overall prestige, etc. I totally recognize this is subjective and shouldn't be used as a way to make employment decisions.

With that said, what are YOUR top 10 groups across BB, EB, MM, etc?
