Which is better for transactional? Also, if anybody has any insight into culture, I would appreciate it! Thank you.

Fried Frank - not even close, IMO.

Is either place more of a "sweatshop" than the other? Or is it a pretty standard 9-9 at both?

You probably work less at S&K because they have less work to give out to people. That's a bad thing, not a good thing.

FWIW I've heard more negative than average things about FF's culture in the echo chamber. Take it for a grain of salt and I'd still take FF, regardless.

They seem very different. FF seems like your typical prestigious vault firm. Definitely more prestigious. Seward appears to be a sort of financial services boutique. Seems that Seward is more of a lifestyle place based on research like chambers, vault, etc. Depends on what you are looking for.

OP here, I am going to assume that people think exit options from FF are better as well?
My biggest concern is their rep as a "sweatshop." Ideally I would like to be at the firm for longer than 3 years

"Better" is relative. SK seems to do alot of startup fund work so the exit options are probably to those. Exits from FF are probably more to bigger companies.

OP can you please let us know when you heard from Seward? Also when your callback was? Thanks.
