GCA Advisors in 2019?

Thoughts on this tech bank in SF? Senior guys seem pretty big, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the group/exits/interview process for SA? Where do they stack up in the overall scheme of SF Tech groups?

The firm has strong deal flow and high retention—most analysts seem to stay. Those who leave end up in VC, corporate development, and MM PE. Amongst tech groups in SF, they don't compete with bulge bracket banks for business. As a result, they win a lot of deals (100m-1bn) in a variety of interesting tech spaces, like AI, fintech, etc. Great place to be a banker.
