Berkadia - how do they compare to other large shops?

I never seem to hear much about Berkadia, but they have a large presence in the multifamily realm. How does their mortgage banking compare to HFF, CBRE, etc.?

Any insights on comp, structure, culture, etc. would be appreciated!

I am also interviewing at Berkadia, they have transaction analysts who assists investment sales folks and analysts who support originators. For which position did they offer 67K? Thank you!

 

Berkadia is the 5th largest capital intermediary in terms of volume (originated $23 billion worth of loans in 2016). They operate primarily in the multifamily space and do a lot of agency business. Safe to say that Berkadia is in growth mode right now.
