What is Rabobank and is it that bad?

Anyone heard of Rabobank and how is it for the NYC office? looking at past threads it seems like it is a joke. I have a superday coming up with them for 2019 SA

Considering that i want to do IB and PE/VC long term, would I be better off choosing Rabobank IB or BB S&T? I feel like Rabobank IB will give you 0 looks into PE anyways. I'm also set on getting my MBA in the future.

Don't believe everything you hear on the forums. I used to get happy hour with guys from Rabo and know a guy working at a top PE firm who was in their food/agri M&A group.

That being said its not a bulge bracket and even though you'd be learning all the skills you need to succeed in PE, BB S&T is definitely the better look for your resume.
