AEA Investors
Hey all, whats the general consensus on AEA Investors (if there is any)? I see on their website they have a pre-MBA Associate program so I was wondering if anyone on here works there or has any knowledge of the firm. Any info would be greatly appreciated, such as recruiting, interviews, culture, compensation, responsibilities, etc.
Also, I see on their website that they have four different funds (PE, Mezz, Middle Market Debt and Small Business). I'd be curious to know if associates were given the opportunity to work across all funds. Especially in these times, I imagine that the debt fund is busier than the PE.. but I could be wrong.
Thanks in advance for any information!
Summit Partners out of undergrad?
Knowing that they hire out of undergrad, anyone have thoughts on their program. Heard from many posts that they have an 100% sourcing model, it's up to you to make cold-calls and find business. Seems like it's a glorified telemarketing position, but then again it's a PE firm. Wouldn't this look good for top b-schools?
Oh, and cold-calling is the bane of my existence...
