Centerview London: reputation and Vault ranking?

Hi,
I am getting the impression - from this forum, Vault and speaking to people, that Centerview is doing really well in the US. But how about in London? They seem to be missing from the Vault guide's European ranking, a guide which I otherwise have the impression is well regarded.

From looking on LinkedIn, their London office has approx. 20 people (including administrative staff), and only 5-6 analyst - small office, obviously (although I don't think that's bad). In 2014 they - according to Mergermarket's "League Tables for 2014 Financial Advisors and M&A Trend Report" - advised on 18 deals worth 72 billion USD (this number is for Europe only). Completing 3 deals/year on average as an analyst seems amazing to me - am I wrong here?

Does anybody know why Centerview London is not getting any more love (general prestige)? Are they too small/new or just not considered that great in London? I would just be surprised by the latter due to their deal flow and some of the deals they have been on.

Thanks for your input!

 

it'll probably be through the cornell partnership

I don't think they have HRs working on recruiting. As Oreos said, they probably use The Cornell Partnership or a similar firm to do all the sourcing and recruiting. I will rely on the their website than and keep monitoring efinancialcareers. Does anyone have information about when they usually recruiting (read "best time to send the CV on their website)? Btw thanks for the info.

I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.
 

I've seen them hire aggressively recently, not sure if comp is inline with NYC (guess you're hoping for a 50k sign-on). Other than that, seems to be very focused on combining M&A and Strategy consulting (I've heard that their interviews are kind of split in-between typical IBD stuff and consulting type cases).
