Thoughts on General Atlantic

I'm curious what people have heard about the growth equity Analyst program at GA regarding Hours, Comp, Culture. Also, possible comparison of their analyst program vs. that at a MF buyout shop, types of character that would go to each, and what a career path down either road might look like.

Thanks!

I know a guy who was in a unique situation. During college, he was investing his friend's trust fund out in non-targetville USA. GA recruited him to an assoicate role within their software space. Since then, he's raised his own fund. I think he stayed at GA for 1.5 years. Safe to say he's brilliant...
