Top shop in Europe. Reason you don´t hear it more on this forum is because coverage is mainly EMEA focused. Very strong team on the retail space with Charlie

 

As a consumer of the sell-side: Exane are top 3 for research in Europe, at least for what my team's process is (long-term, concentrated, equity L/S). Obviously a lot depends on the specific analyst but if I'm looking at a new name and don't know any of the analysts covering it, I'll probably open an Exane (or maybe Redburn / MS / UBS) note first. 

Don't know a lot about working culture I'm afraid. 

 

Also has a good rep but maybe not quite as good as in the US - partly because you have some other local players that do the deep-dive 'black book' thing well like Exane / Redburn. In the couple of sectors I care about most the European Bernstein analysts don't strike me as super strong, but maybe they are better in others. They do seem to have dropped the old model of only hiring people from industry to be coverage analysts though - there are at least a couple of career sell-siders with coverage at Bernstein Europe now. 

That said, the associate programme did used to churn out people that have ended up in great roles on the buy side.

 

Which firms are the long term boutique shops - would that be Bernstein, Redburn? And guessing quarterly focused is mainly the ER divisions in IB? I know it’s dependent on individuals but do you have an idea of which firms generally get good exits into the buyside? Finally, do you have a rough overview of comp? You say Exane is mid, which are examples of low or high comp?
