Very familiar with them. Feel free to PM me if you want, hopefully I can be of help. I'll need more specifics about what you are inquiring about.
It's like boiler room according to someone I know pretty well there. It's not like a typical IB, and the compensation is not anywhere near standards. The internship for business development is basically a sales job. You call companies to offer an analysis of the them, where your team then tears them down with everything negative financially in order to sign them on for advisory.
what group are you in?
"bus dev" = boiler room sales, avoid at all costs
internships in corp fin or fas groups are decent though - on par with any other decent lower middle market boutique. this is a small percent of their interns though - REALLY be sure to clarify what you are getting into
Houlihan Smith was founded by the same Houlihan who started Houlihan Lokey. It does a lot of bullshit tiny deals. Complete chop shop (even compared to Houlihan Pokey).
