Does anybody have some insights on Ondra Partners (London office), especially with regards to interviews, culture, and reputation?
I have all the basic background info on the firm, e.g. their retainer model, recent deals etc., just looking for some more detailed info.
Thanks

I had a friend who intererviewed there who told me the interview was very technical, to the point that he didn't talk about himself once, all technical.
He turned down their invite for a second round.
Anything else on Ondra Partners ?
Have a couple of friends that started off there and later transitioned to tier 1 BB's (and tier 2). Spoke to a Director at an EB (Lazard/Greenhill/Evercore) who was a former MS, and he had good words to say about it. Overall, from what I remember they have a bunch of former MS seniors.

bump! Anything more concrete on their London Office? I know they do occasionally huge deals but does anybody know how hours and pay are?

Ondra Partners: more insight/info? (Originally Posted: 11/14/2010)
So I recently came across a firm called Ondra Partners. They seem to employ some very senior people from BBs. What else do we know about this firm?
It's part of the Illuminati conspiracy.
No seriously, I would appreciate some insight too.
Seems like a baller firm. I'd like to know more myself.

What do you want to know, there's pages of info on their commentary page: http://www.ondrapartners.com/commentary-in-press.aspx
They're an advisory-only boutique. They have a list of their team members on their website as well: http://www.ondrapartners.com/partnership-team-members.aspx 15 minutes with LinkedIn should get you some background info on some team members.
That really should be enough information for anyone on here to use as a launching pad, though I'm sure someone will ask how much they pay their 1st year analysts or how they place into Wharton for MBA.
Interviewed there last week and waiting for a response.
They are an advisory boutique that deal in products across corporate finance (M&A, ECM, DCM and Restructuring). Was really impressed by the quality of the people interviewing me (from 1st year analyst to VP level) and it seems like the firm is doing well with deals all over Europe (mainly UK, France and Ireland) and some in the US.
As junior banker, there is an opportunity to be a generalist both in terms of products as in industry (they really seem to be covering the largest companies across the board!). People seems more relaxed than at most BBs and even boutiques I have interviewed with...
Hope this helps.

I worked on the other side of them in 2 transactions - 1 closed, 1 didn't. In both cases they were advising their client on financing.
I think an incredibly switched on group of people, knew the markets inside out, and were naturally very current on trends. They essentially play the bad guy for their client, beating up the banks on terms (in my particular interactions).
Thanks bermy! Anyone with insider info? Hours? people?

Ondra Partners Question (Originally Posted: 11/25/2014)
Anyone know anything about Ondra? I've been scouring the forums and there's not too much information.
US or UK/Europe?
US. I know they're more established in UK/Europe but I'm curious what your thoughts are on working in the US offices as a junior analyst

Do you think there are growth prospects? Is this a good place for a young analyst with little/no experience to learn the ropes? Or is it better to go BB?
