Evergreen Coast Capital, the private equity arm of Elliott Management, runs a lean operation, with around five associates in the Menlo Park office at one point. The team is a mix of ex-consultants and ex-bankers. While specific details on interviews aren't provided, the culture seems to reflect some of the hedge fund ethos of Elliott, with only two mandatory in-office days per week.

Compensation details and specific exit opportunities aren't explicitly mentioned, but the general sentiment is that people are happy working there, and there appears to be a path to direct promotion without an MBA, as evidenced by principals' LinkedIn profiles.
