Thoughts on Golub vs. Whitehorse vs. Comvest?

Wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on the three above platforms across common structures, mandate/overall thesis, and any perception of culture. Comp is helpful but have a ballpark for each so not totally needed but always appreciated! 

Also any color on nuances in interview processes would be great but likely better over PM. Thanks all!

golub is a MM/UMM flow shop so they’ll compete against Ares/Apollo on the high end and Antares/MidCap on the lower/MM end. I’ve heard comp is great and people like working there. Whitehorse does hairy deals and have heard the culture is tougher (as is the case with their investment mandate). I’m not as familiar with Comvest, but would also probably view them as a flow shop. I think they were bought by ManuLife so they’ll want to deploy. Unsure on culture there
