Opinion of Providence Equity Partners

by WHMD (Monkey, 63 Banana Points Points) on 9/27/08 at 1:05am

Hi,

I've done some searches on Providence Equity, but know only that it is a firm very strong in media, entertainment, telecom, etc.

What I'd like to know is what the firm culture is like, what the hours are, whether or not associate work is primarily cold-calling/sourcing, and what the pay might be like.

Also, how are the non-Providence offices like? Are they significantly different than headquarters at all in terms of the type of work you get and the culture of the firm? I'd primarily be interested in finding out more about the New York office.

Thanks.

All I'll say is that its a good firm (that's gotten into some tough deals as of late -- only time can tell). Not sure about NYC but hours are a little better than the other mega buyouts, but not drastically, though with the climate nowadays who knows. Culture is ok, not the best out there, but i knew some guys who had fun.
