Northwood Investors Culture

Hey, I've tried looking on Google and on this forum and found a lot about Northwood's background, what they invest in, and their comp but haven't really been able to find out much about their culture. I'm interviewing for an internship there next week and just curious about what I should expect in terms of hours

Interesting firm. Founded by ex-Blackstone executives. The culture is like what Blackstone was like in the 80s before they got too big; entrepreneurial, collegiate etc. They don't just look at RE but also the PropTech industry as well. Deal flow is rather heavy as they are not restricted to a particular sector in real estate, geography or risk spectrum (however their primary targets are value add and opportunistic strategies). There is a lot of interaction between the global offices, one of the perks being that employees get to go on a number of international asset plans/sit visits. Another perk they have is their mentorship programme which grads and interns are paired with from the get-go, which shows the firm's commitment to bringing up talent. Hours due to the ex-Blackstone culture are long, around 70-80+ per week. Comp will follow suit, probably around £60-70K (GBP) with a 20-50% bonus for a 1st-year Analyst. It is a great place to learn about real estate. The training would not be as structured as a larger institutional house and more ad-hoc and learning on the job etc.
