robbie stephens from a bb perspective... yeah, they do a lot of deals, but that's b/c they'll take any piece of crap company public. anything. they do more crap deals than all other firms on the street combined. |

I work for a competitor of Robertson in the bay area. Here is the scoop on them. Personally, I am not impressed by the people there, with a few exceptions. Most of them are the kind of bullshitters that like to think that they know what they are talking about, but don't have a clue. Also, true, they lead a lot of crappy deals.
That said. I know quite a few analysts there who have had a great experience and their deal flow, at least in software, internet and semis is pretty good. They don't do much in the comm space, but overall, they have done well and in 1999, absolutely moved into a league above H&Q and BofA (who imploded during 1999 with Weisel's knife to their back and their own blunders).
I'd consider them seriously, as long as you don't mind the general attitude there.
