providence equity partners

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.
