Hey everyone - haven’t seen much on Elysium so just wanted to create a new thread here. Recent headlines aside, does anyone have any perspectives on culture, structure, learning opportunity, deployment, issues to be aware of, etc.? To my understanding, the office is led by Greg Ruben, who previously spent a long time at Goldman’s PE group. Appreciate any and all help.

Bump
They’ve had a huge black cloud hanging over them ever since Leon left Apollo in disgrace and subsequent additional Epstein revelations suggested very shady ties and fund flows between Epstein and Black, mainly through Elysium itself, where Epstein served on the board.
The continued pedo stink is pretty evident from the fact that anyone that works/has worked there has wiped it from their LinkedIn.
From what I understand, inside its 4 walls it’s somewhat business as usual in terms of working like dogs and getting paid reasonably well for an off the beaten path career.
In the market however, a fair amount of folks don’t want to be publicly associated with them and they have a very hard time hiring talent since no one wants to explain to their family/friends they work for a billionaire ghoul pedo.
Leon is still very much radioactive. I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
I’m guessing he’s way more involved at Elysium now that he’s no longer running Apollo — I don’t know if that’s good or bad but I probably wouldn’t bring my kids to the firm Halloween party.
Doubt he’s that involved. He was very checked out right before he left Apollo. My last memory of him before we shut the office for COVID: he was asleep during IC and was snoring loudly enough to make it awkward.
