CS LevFin is a great group from a junior perspective and I know folks there get solid reps. They and BofA are the 2 LevFin shops that honestly will provide top-tier exits and technical skill building. But, JPM and BofA do carry the league tables for Leveraged Loans and HY Bonds. CS is a heavy hitter for sponsor/LBO backed transactions. This does not mean they have the largest % of the overall Leveraged Finance wallet. 

 

I think this hits a lot of the key points. Massive balance sheet bank who does some things really well (e.g. ABL). But, the whole bank is bleeding from a reputation and personnel perspective. Asset cap was also very painful to have happen right before COVID when a lot of clients needed debt financing. Eventually the bank is big enough to get back on its feet, but a lot of dysfunction right now. If you’re coming out of college, still not a bad place to get experience.
