Considering here and would like to get a feel for the general reputation of the finance group. Also curious about what exit options are like.

As far as Chicago firms, it is right there after Kirkland and Sidley, in the same group as Jenner and Winston. It is well known and really good at Lit, strong corporate, but corp is behind the previous mentioned as well as Skadden and Latham. Basically it has a great reputation in Chicago

Yeah for corporate, I would only preference Kirkland/Sidley and to a lesser extent Latham and Skadden. There's something to be said for being at a mothership office. Which is a long way of saying you did well for yourself.

Banking/Finance > M&A.
MB is Tier One for Banking/Finance and it's much easier to do that work inhouse.

In general, I thought M&A was practice area best suited for inhouse work. Is Mayer Brown just a unique situation?

I was just a Summer so I don't know which practice area is best for that; however, I did see a number of ex-banking and finance Associates who moved over to big banks in an in-house role after secundment who attended the Summer Events to hang out with their old friends. These associates all left between their 3rd and 5th years.
