PAAMCO Interview

I am wondering if anybody has any insight on PAAMCO. They have been mentioned here before but not much information. I am interviewing for FT next week and I want to make sure this is what I am looking for. I have done an investment banking internship in the past and I don't want to do 80 hour weeks anymore.

Anybody have any information?

 

Edited. You can PM me specific questions if you like.

I dont work there, but I went through the interview process recently.

I job shadowed there a long time ago during my freshman summer. Seemed like a very laid-back office, right on the border of Irvine and Newport Beach. Talked to a lot of people but at the time I didn't know shit about lifestyle/comp/culture... Seemed to place well into good MBA schools and the current analysts have great pedigrees

 

this is a fund of funds, correct? people they interviewed from my university were for account management only, with analytical roles reserved for quant PhD types...

this was several years ago, and i heard this from friends who interviewed... never did so myself.

Money Never Sleeps? More like Money Never SUCKS amirite?!?!?!?
