I was on a mezz debt financing deal during my time at RBS in London that fell through. It was a for an offshore wind farm, which is kind of like betting on a bet. It was really risky so we passed. Then a couple weeks later the JV that Investec was running went belly up. Not sure if that is indicative of what they do, since it was one of their private equity funds, but they seemed kind of cowboyish in the project finance market.

 

Meh. I could comment a little bit on the rep. I had a friend do an SA in their M&A division. He/she got interested in the area, but wanted to pursue “real” IBD afterwards at a BB/MM. On top of that half of the interns were hired through purely neputistic reasons—to the extent that they didn’t give out offers by default. Most people would probably be surprised they do IBD to begin with.
