CD&R Industrials is hell on earth
Going to rant here since my therapist is on vacation. Psychopathic mid-levels that make you sprinting the most pointless things possible. The staffer is genuinely a villain who will backstab you any moment you had a week of sub-90 hours.
It is really banking 2.0 with how big the teams are - 13 people are in the incoming class… THIRTEEN. The fking JPM of pe except in pe you don’t really learn much if youre siloed into doing half of the data cuts on 3rd party research for a deal you’re never going to even fking bid on (has happened multiple times). SO many turns on everything too. Worse part is i hear my associates glazing tf out of this group in these on cycle coffee chats like they have the worst Stockholm syndrome of all time.
All that to say DONT come here, you’ll have a better life and actually get good experience st any other similar fund that isn’t an absolute associate FACTORY.
/ rant
It's cold in these streets.
"hell on earth" to describe a nice office and working a few weekends. gen z is so cooked
"A few" is...not the case in this group and before they moved, the offices were so ass bruh
So what are you crying about? Quit your job and go be poor. No one has a gun to your head.
Can’t tell you how many of these bitchfests I’ve heard from friends. All they did was complain about their firm, job, life, etc. Then they finally escaped, ended up at GSB/HBS. Midway through their stint, their ex-BDSM Madam from said PE firm offered to pay off their entire 2 year tuition if they came back to get spanked with a leather riding crop.
You know where those friends are now? Wearing gimp suits with a ball gag in their mouth at Hudson Yards, 9 West, 1 Vanderbilt. Still there.
So either it’s not really as bad as they claimed, they’re too greedy to care how bad it is, or more likely they love the punishment and humiliation.
Stop crying and get back to work, you scum.
Wah wah the handcuffs are golden so nobody can want a better culture or higher quality substantive responsibility. So original and totally not a tired talking point. The idea that the people who have endured literally the toughest high schools and target schools and banking groups and on-cycle processes and now megafund Associate stints are somehow the ones allergic to dealing with adversity well or are perpetual whiners is laughable.
FYI Forcing sex metaphors doesn’t make you Roman Roy bro.
Also this group has had what, 2 post-MBA returners in the last 6 or 7 classes combined? Your talking points aren’t looking too hot.
What an absolutely worthless reply from an equally worthless man child.
LOL notorious group is notorious for good reason sounds like
Need to hear more… is it worse than your average MF PE experience?
From what he described it sounds pretty par the course if we're being honest. IE it's going to suck ass, a lot.
At another MF and have had a very similar experience
This guy cd&r’s
WOW super lame the mods removed this cmon now
Shoutout you for actually naming and shaming... need more of that here
desperately need this level of insight for their HC team
Autistic midlevels and partner level turnover.. Not a great spot as far as MF goes but it is HC in nyc and isn’t as crazy as industrials
13 assos in the class, how many VP/principal seats are there?
Is it as bad / near as bad in other CD&R groups?
I'm confused...is 13 Asos a lot or little and is that globally? Fund size is ~$20B?
People are surprised that it’s just for one vertical out of 5 or 6. That being said, industrials is the largest vertical with half of the class essentially. The full class is around 25 people. Definitely on the larger side for associate class size, even for a $26B fund
breaking news - overpaid excel jockey complains about workload he signed up for
Belron tho….
Holy crap. Did not realize they had that many associates just for industrials....
Welcome to PE lil bro
