Anyone here ever worked at Stephens?


Thoughts on the company?

Came close to working there on the IBD side. Solid middle market shop that is well respected on the street.

If I ended up getting hired by them, will it help me eventually move on to the big boys (JPM, GS, etc)?

I have a phone interview coming up next Thursday. Recruiter said to be prepared for a few simple finance/accounting questions, among other things. This is my first ever interview so I am a little nervous. What kind of FI/AC questions do you think he will ask?

How did you get an interview with them and what year are you at Bama?

Senior, and I have some contacts there. Why?

I'm a junior and trying to find something for IB/anything similar next summer. Have a relatively mediocre GPA for an LSU guy but have good internship experience for someone my age. They do internships?

Good luck on your interview BTW.

I actually don't think they offer an internship program (at least this was the case ~3/4 yrs ago when I was looking for an internship).

As far as lateraling to a BB, it will help but there is nothing guaranteed.

Are you aware of their analyst program structuring? No coverage groups, everyone is a generalist. Plenty of pros and cons to this - just wanted to make sure you were aware.

Would that be a negative later on if I am looking at other opportunities?

Depends on what group you are trying to lateral into.

You work in IB and you live here? How many shops actually have offices in the area?
