Unable to find much on this site or elsewhere for info on CIP. Interested in hearing anecdotes from anyone who's worked for or with them, regardless of location

I worked with them on a solar power station deal a couple of years back.

One of their PE Associate, fresh out of Goldman, could not get the model balanced...and it was not a one-time thing. I mean that Associate's modeling is really not good. Project management was not great as the workstreams were not arranged smoothly when they could have been done that way.

A single data point.  

 

CIP is a good shop. Worked with someone on another deal who moved there a couple of years ago, and that person is an absolute powerhouse. Blew me away in negotiations, with a relatively unorthodox background - single data point though.

They are a lot more operational / asset-level focused than other more "corporate" infra PE shops, but they absolutely dominate in certain sectors (wind). You will see more people from big 4 / transaction modelling / developers etc. at CIP than you would find at other places. 

As a continental European player, expect comp to be (probably significantly) lower than comparably sized US funds, but they attract and retain decent people so YMMV.
