Toxic Culture at Cowen

How is Cowen’s reputation in the industry? I worked briefly at Cowen and I can honestly say that I have never encountered more toxic people in my life than I did during my brief time at Cowen. Does anyone have similar experiences or opinions that differ from mine?

 

I've only had a networking phone call with them and definitely not a great experience. Felt like every question I asked was responded with starting with an audible sigh or impatience. Granted, I was a noob at the time, but I don't think my questions were unreasonable...didn't even apply after given my impression from the call..
