I just came across their website (www.sawayasegalas.com) but I've never heard of them.
Has anyone got any details about these guys or have worked with them?

They are consumer and retail focused boutique investment bank based in New York
How are they in terms of reputation, dealflow, etc?
All good--but they want their analysts to have 1+ years of experience from BB consumer group...
anyone else have commentary on Sawaya Segalas? thx
it's ok. i wouldn't be suprised if a foreign investment bank acquired them in the next few years.
Interesting...
Don't hate, this firm is small but good.
they've got a great reputation in mid-market consumer M&A - well known deals include selling orange glo/oxi clean to church and dwight (household), breathe right to Glaxo (consumer health), and meguiar's to 3M (car care)
Anyone else know anything about this firm? Preferably someone with more than 1 post
Or about work and team culture as well? Thanks!
bump - anyone know anything?
ok reputation. no centerview or PJ solomon
Bumpp - very interested
I know a guy who worked there. He spoke very highly of his experience and ended up exiting to a decent buyside shop. As mentioned above, it is heavily focused on the consumer segment. If this is for you, it wouldn't be a bad place to work.
Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like IB including boutique IB is not what it was, and is much more risky to join for exit opps purposes unless at a top shop/top group.

Anyone knowledgeable on their internship process? Want to know how competitive it is and how many they usually take and what the interview process is like.

I can't comment on your particular questions, but I have a friend that did his analysts years there a while back and he liked it a lot. They are heavily consumer focused, so while you won't pigeonhole yourself as an intern, make sure that is an area of interest to you. Some of the deals we've seen from them have been quite decent, so I imagine deal flow and general activity isn't so bad. I don't really have any additional information to offer up beyond that though.
Office is at the 888 Seventh building, used to run into guys from Sawaya every now and then. One of the founders is an old Arabic dude who seemed pretty laid back (I'm gonna guess he's the Sawaya portion of the namesake) and used to talk about their consumer deals a lot. Like CB said it's exclusively consumer I believe but they get some good flow and tend to sell a lot of brands rather than outright companies. Not sure how hours are, but I imagine they're tough like anything else. Not sure what the culture is like but from the gist of the Sawaya guy I assume it's not too bad.
^ Great helpful responses. I'm a junior trying to get an internship there. I spoke to one person there and it seemed it's very close-knit because of the small number of employees so fit and culture is very important to them. Anyone know what they're looking for in terms of fit? If I do happen to get an interview, the first round is going to be all fit questions.

Did a search but not much has shown up. Does anyone know about them? Pay? Prestige? Exit ops?
Any info at all would be very helpful
Maybe that's because you spelled it wrong.
Nah... just searched for "Sawaya." But thanks for being so helpful... Would anyone take sawaya over a middle tier MM bank?
