US MM IBs London Reputation

Potential chance to get into a US MM IB (Blair / Baird / RJ / Lincoln etc.) in their London offices. Was wondering if anyone had any experience or thoughts on their deal flow and comp. Would be especially interested to know how exits to MM PE are. I personally don't care much for large cap M&A and prefer a smaller team size but was slightly concerned that they're slightly too unknown to both clients and buyside recruiters especially relative to more established ones like HL and Jeffs. 

I have read the 20 most common questions for European IB but perhaps given these banks have smaller operations anyway there wasn't a whole lot about them in there.
