Pros

Incredibly interesting high-yield debt transactions and niche public finance projects. The team is full of smart, driven individuals who are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Leadership in the Special District Group, particularly at the top, often shows little regard for team well-being or professional collaboration. There is a consistent pattern of negative internal communication and a focus on personal accolades over team development. The culture is driven by fear and lacks transparency. Persistent turnover—especially among the executive assistants and junior level bankers supporting senior leadership—is telling and highlights the challenges of working under current leadership.

Pros

Houston office is a stud when it comes to M&A. At a junior level you’ll get the best experience here churning out more quality deals than anywhere else.

Cons

The team works hard, but that’s how sternal stuff are made.
