This is my impression based on interactions with employees and word of mouth. Both are great firms but extremely different as you said. Would take an offer at GA over LG based on the below.
LG - very buttoned up, hard working, stuffy type place. Pays extremely well because of lean teams. Focus is on traditional industrials-type companies with a buy and build strategy (i.e. lots of add on acquisition work and deal processing). Very good placement to B-school (prob. 100% HSW and 50% H/S) but the impression I get is that it is not as strong as GA.
GA - seems much more relaxed, great culture, very smart people, growthier type investments in tech/internet/consumer type businesses and will participate in minority type investments much more frequently. Pay is also excellent/above street but I think slightly lower than LG which I believe pays above megafunds. Much more well known among investment professionals across VC/HF because of its profile, but reputation among PE firms is probably on-par or slightly better than LG.
Generally agree with this. Have been on the other side of 2 deals with LG and 1 deal with GA. LG is very buttoned up and more traditional type PE (ruthless buyer, multiple retrades, endless diligence, etc.). While GA, and frankly most large firms act this way, the GA team is at least enjoyable to deal with and I personally find GA's much more interesting (but that's going to be your call).
