Cove Hill FT 2027
Anyone else in this process? I believe apps closed pretty recently. Also curious what the state of the firm is in 2026 with the SaaS-pocalypse narrative.

not debating, just curious to hear rationale - can you expand?
Do not work here
Bumping this. On top of current state following SaaSpocolypse, anyone have updated views on culture and hours
Anyone hear back for r2?
Avoid, agree w above
Curious why?
Cove Hill has historically been known to be a very tough place to work, hours wise. Looking on LinkedIn, exits seems good and have heard that the comp is above market.
Have heard from friends toxic culture and tough hours with not much upside
Correct
Probably the most unprofessional and poorly run interview process I’ve ever been through. If any indication — do not work here.
Good friend works there. Avoid at all costs.
would look at five arrows instead
Bump, haven't heard back
Would not take offer here. High attrition at junior level, mid-level and senior team also shrinking. Seems like they’ve had serious issues deploying. People leave after several years with no reps. If this is your only offer, the firm has a decent reputation but otherwise avoid
WLB is fine, but the culture here is bad, and I mean really bad. The leadership is unkind and completely withdrawn from junior level. The VPs could not care less about you. This place will 9/10 times leave you in a worse position to recruit or go to b school
WLB here is not “fine”
Curious why you say it leaves you in a worse position re exits / b-school?
Heard WLB there is comically far from fine. Lol
avoid
Does anyone know how their funds are performing?
Fund 1 was really good, heard Fund 2 was not great but hard to know how it compares vs 2020 vintage software funds
Former employee here. Think what's been said here re: exit opportunities is false as the associates who have left from the past several classes have either gone to HBS/Wharton or strong funds (e.g., BX, KKR, EQT, XN, TCV, General Catalyst, GI)
Re: culture/WLB, I won't sugarcoat it in that people definitely do work hard, but I found the mid-level and senior people to be generally quite nice and focused on analysts/associates' development (in addition to high caliber / good to learn from). The flip side of doing all DD inhouse and looking at a large number of deals is that it's quite good training from a junior perspective (which I've appreciated more after working at another fund). The comp is also strong (particularly relative to peers of similar fund size) and there are good perks (well-funded social buget, Park City ski trip, etc.)
Yeah about time hr stepped in to set the record straight!
Can’t speak to culture as I have not worked there but a quick LinkedIn search would confirm the exits part
