Prospect is a publicly traded BDC (business development corporation). They work with MM / Lower MM businesses to provide debt and equity. No direct experience, but a good place to look would be PSEC's public filings. Because they are a BDC, they have to disclose their positions (aka. all of their investments, the cost basis, where they mark them, the interest rate & seniority, etc.). So from that, you should be able to glean the following info: - Deal flow (at least how much they close). - Investment type (they are all over the board, but you should get an idea of concentration). - The types of deals they work on. - How often they take equity positions vs. syndication on debt.

Best of luck - happy hunting.

 

Is the culture at Prospect Capital as bad as the real Glassdoor reviews make it out to be? Seems odd that their head of HR is the wife of the CEO. I've also heard they ask very politically charged questions which is also illegal (considering they are a publically traded company?). Any color would be great from past employees or people who have worked with their team. ** **** **
