KEA Consultants London - Experience

Hi!

I just wanted to see whether anyone has had any particular experiences with KEA. I know they are probably the HH firm in London for MF PE exits, but they have been described as rude and arrogant on this forum. Therefore, I have a couple of questions for PE Recruiting. Do they reach out to you? If not, when should you contact them? Which banks and especially groups are they usually targetting? What is their position concerning M&A vs LevFin vs Sponsors vs Industry Coverage? Do they provide you with a client list upon meeting them? Is it accurate that you only get to choose one firm? If so, when are you supposed to make that decision?

Thanks!
