Jefferies - Houston Energy Group

Does anyone know the details regarding Jefferies' Energy Group in Houston? I would like to know more about 1) compensation for analysts, 2) deal flow, 3) future outlook, 4) overall culture of people there, and 5) exit opportunities. Also in regards to exit opps, how supportive are the senior bankers in helping you place into PE if that's the route you wish to take? I know there's a lot of bashing on Jefferies on WSO for some reason, and please reply only if you have valid information regarding this specific group and can give unbiased opinions.

Jefferies is a great group. They have excellent deal flow and have done some kickass deals. As a native houston-ite i can tell you they have been around, and will be around, for some time. One of their Senior VP's spoke at a club meeting and from his insight; they have above average compensation and of course a work till your drop expectation.

 

That sounds pretty typical, and expect a pretty technical interview. My experience was split 50/50 between technicals and fit, with one guy asking most of the technicals and another asking most of the fit.

I'd definitely brush up on their recent deals (they were on the Apache - Cordillera deal) and whats been going on in the industry, but I don't recall them asking any industry or company specific questions. But it's a good chance to show-off your knowledge with follow-up questions that are related to this.

 

Thank you all!! i really appreciate your help. i guess im just weirded out by the prospect of having people join in and out during the interview... and it seems way too long for a phone interview haha. anyway thank you all again
