CCMP Capital - Any information on this firm?

Hey guys,

I'm a complete newbie here. I was wondering if anyone had any information about CCMP or Silver Lake Partners, both about the firm and what the interview process entails for an analyst position out of undergrad? Thanks again, and I appreciate any input and/or advice.

Cheers

 

CCMP associates are not all Lehman people. I interviewed with a guy who was from Bear Sterns PE. Interview was mostly fit. They asked me about myself, my interest in the position, and barely touched on an investment thesis.

I interviewed with 2 people. One principal and one associate. They all seemed pretty nice. Principal made it seem like you could get promoted if you performed exceptionally well.

 

Totally understand. He didn't say you had to leave after analyst and made it seem like there was a possibility for advancement. If you're motivated and have talent not sure why they wouldn't keep you. Didn't ask about the lifestyle in the interview...never a good idea I think. This is finance. He said 65k. Not sure of bonus. Seemed like a good name to have on the resume though long-term.

Seemed like good people. Saw the CEO drinking dunkin donuts iced coffee in the elevator (i.e. down to earth)

 

Nothing wierd. No techincals. Just got asked about an investment idea. The rest was talking through resume. I think it really just comes down to fit so there's nothing to worry about. Just be yourself.

 

Again - know this is an old thread. But has the perception regarding CCMP's analyst program changed at all? They've made a few hires from their analyst class and I know others who have left for b-school or portfolio companies.

 

The analysts there get a good experience - not just research but plenty of modeling as well and seem to place well for those that don't stay on as associates. The pay though is way below street and they work as hard as any bank.

Also, be aware that they claw back 1st year bonuses if you leave before 2 years and make their analysts do rotations through investor relations.

 
Solidarity:
They're probably going to call you on the phone at some point.

yes, the interview is next week. I mean should i expect some technical questions or they just ask me to walk through my resume and ask some 'why' question?

 

It's mostly a walk through resume and why you're interested in this position, with technical questions coming in the first office visit most likely. My brother interviewed there previously and I was an analyst back in my banking days with one of the associates there. A few of the associates apparently do most of the initial screening and they're supposedly fair and nice. One warning he heard and backed up with his in-office interview was to watch out for one of the female associates. The key he thought was to ask her questions (she is one of those people who loves to hear herself talk). Looking at their website, there looks to be more than one female associate now, but he said she was the chubby one with dark hair.

 

Chemical Ventures, Chase Capital, Manufacturers Hanover Capital/J.P. Morgan Partners

Basically, a all the internal PE arms of the firms that got smacked together through all the mergers of the 90s (excluding One Equity partners and perhaps some others).

You probably know, but one of their Portfolio Companies (AMC) is being bought. If you have an interview coming up, you may want to read up on it.

Other than that, they are a well regarded shop
