Yes you are correct on both counts - Peltz has stakes in a number of companies (mostly consumer-related) including Wendy's, Family Dollar, Heinz, Kellogg, and Tiffany. In the past, he's convinced Cadbury to spin off their Dr Pepper Snapple drinks business (before the candy business was bought by Kraft) and Wendy's to spin off Tim Horton's.
I don't have any insight into how to get a job there, but I would imagine they don't typically hire kids after two yrs of investment banking...
It depends I guess. I've heard great things about those guys.
bump, anyone know about them? are they on the same level as Third Point, pershing, etc.?
He's kind of a jackass (based on predators ball, tabloids). But lots of hedge fund guys are...
i'd imagine, isn't dan loeb supposed to be pretty harsh with his letters to?
I'm sure it is fine. What is your concern? A job is a job so long as you like it
The fund now owns 5.1% of Lazard.

They certainly do evaluate candidates after two years of IB. They operate in much the same way as most other activist funds, evaluate companies in more "private equity"-like fashion and handle interviews like any other HF in their category. Not much else to say, other than what you can read in the news.
I would certainly say that Trian is up there with the guys you see in the news all the time. They have a slightly different approach though.
They have backgrounds for a good handful of people that work there on the website, worth a look if you're wanting a gig there

Hey guys, any thoughts on Trian Partners? Are they on par with Pershing Square, Daniel Loeb's Third Point? Thanks!
Do you read the WSJ? Peltz is always in there. They're good. Hard to get into unless you know someone on the team. Best of luck.
Seems really smart. They post up white papers of some of their investments. Good reads.
I interned at a fof. Trian was the only activist fund we were willing to invest in.
they are way better than pershing (at least far more respected), and a different kind of activist than loeb so not really comparable. trian does the hardest kind of activism -- business turnarounds, and they are actually quite successful at it. loeb does a lot more financial activism (ie levering up balance sheets to buy back stock, selling off / monetizing undervalued balance sheet assets, etc). very well respected guys
