Carlyle Credit London

Hi all,

Any updated views on the culture of Carlyle Credit team in London (specifically the Opportunistic Credit / Special Sits)?

I see a bunch of posts from ~2023 saying it's a sweatshop/horrible culture.

Thank you very much!

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific updated information on the culture of Carlyle's Opportunistic Credit/Special Situations team in London beyond the general sentiment from ~2023 posts describing it as a challenging environment with a "sweatshop" reputation. If you're considering this team, it might be worth reaching out to recent alumni or current employees for firsthand insights, as team dynamics and culture can evolve over time.
