I was wondering if anyone could give some insight into the Canaccord Genuity office in Boston. How is the culture/hours/pay/exit opps/deal flow?

"Strong in Toronto that competes directly with the global banks in Canada. Recently advised Amaya's $4.9bn acquisition of Rational Group (Pokerstars), Canada Goose sale to Bain Capital, Yamana/Agnico $3.9bn joint acquisition of Osisko Mining (one of largest mining deals in Canada in 2014) as well as several blockbuster deals in 2011/2012 such as Glencore/Viterra (7.5bn), Sinopec/Daylight, H&R and Kingsett consortium acquisition of Primaris, etc.
Way back in 06, Genuity co-advised AMD's $5.4bn acquisition of ATI
Also leads in many equity deals in Canada and the UK due to the retail broker arm of Canaccord.
Restructuring practice in Canada is very solid, if not one of the best. Restructured Yellow Pages (2.7bn recap), OPTI distressed sale to CNOOC (US$2.1 billion), recap of Tembec (US$1.2 billion), etc.
Not too sure about London office, but it's one of the largest and most active offices with Genuity's acquisition of Collins Steward Hawkpoint practice in the UK. It was the highest ranked advisor by M&A volume in the UK in H12014. Just today announced that Canaccord Genuity advised the sale of Barbon Insurance to The Carlyle Group in the UK.
Tech presence growing in NY and SF, particularly strong research team. On lots of tech equity deals, e.g. co-managed Hubspot IPO, Grubhub IPO, etc.
Been told they pay well in Canada and is above Canadian street, but I'm guessing it depends on deal flow during the year."
From user @tove a couple years back hope this adds some context.
I am probably one of the only people on this sight who actually worked in the Boston office of Canaccord, as it is a very small team and I could not find any posts about it when I accepted my position. I was a summer intern there so take that is you will, my insight is somewhat limited. Hours are reasonable, much below street averages. Most work is on pitches as the deal flow is somewhat limited. The office environment is good, lots of people will get drinks at the bar in the building after work (which is a great plus). Good to put on the resume but at least in my experience they only gave one return offer out of 6ish interns. If you are looking at full time instead of an internship I would recommend. I know of an analyst who placed into a good PE firm and another to Harvard Business School.. so not too bad despite not being a name brand bank. Hope this helps
