Hours/Culture at Qatalyst?
See a ton of posts on comp/interview process but not too many on culture once you get in?
Understand there will be a baseline level of sweaty but if anyone who worked there can speak to hours?

Sweaty culture, bunch of dorks there
Brutal as fuck
Would rather talk SaaS than get some sASS on the weekend.
Don’t even bother bro. Don’t know you or your capabilities but they seriously only take the best. Had a buddy now working for a top SF Tech M&A team at an EB and when he was trying to recruit FT before returning to that EB he didn’t even get an interview. And also what do you think the culture is like if there’s the most ridiculous interview process on the street. Obviously I don’t work there, but given the deals they work on, you can imagine how crazy their weeks must be and don’t really think culture is a factor for you if you ever get to the point where you’re a serious Q candidate.
I knew a buddy who was working there. Hours are really bad - mostly 2-3 AM nights From Monday Thursday. Weekend you will also almost always work.
