GTCR - 2022 Thoughts?
Hi all, I would love to know more about GTCR in terms of their comp, exit opps, reputation, etc. Specifically, I'm interested in their analyst program.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Great firm and reputation. Have had a lot of first quartile funds. Raised a $7.5B fund at the end of 2020. Can't speak to analyst comp but AS1 comp was $310K and AS2 comp was $350K+ but not sure if that has since changed.
Heard a few things about hours bein group dependent and potentially really rough. Is there a big FaceTime culture / how’s been WFH with Covid and what’s the plan going forward?
Don’t mind more hours if WFH is possible— honestly don’t mind giving up weekdays when I can still chill / hang out with friends during downtime or just chill while working when doing less intensive work.
I think they went back to office in 2020...
One of Chicago’s better shops. Their recent returns have been stellar and that’s reflected in fundraising with multiple funds being quite a bit larger than predecessors
Well respected firm and been around forever - they’re a buy and build platform investor like Audax, aka can be pretty sweaty. Worked on a few deals for them - the associate was regularly sending me emails at all hours of the night - 3/4/5am. Maybe he was just a weirdo, but my gut says he was getting worked
Just opened a NYC + West Palm office.
Are they going to be doing a lot fo assoc hiring in either?
Since they're often spoken about in the same sentence -- what about culture at Madison Dearborn in Chicago? Again, these two are frequently seen as top 2 firms in Chicago... but are there material differences between these firms, or their cultures?
Top chicago shop. Not really one of those places where top candidates just fall back on if they don't get MF/UMM offers for NY PE shops (or at least think of that way). Great comp and let's be honest, it goes a lot further in Chicago than it does in NY.
Top shop overall. Was networking with a Cali MF and a senior commented that they had the best returns in the industry. I turned down recruiting with them because I heard associates get grinded. Avoid their FIG team, they are always recruiting and tough place to work I heard. Unsure on pay. MDP isn’t much better but heard associates leave around 8. Pay isn’t great there but good placement to H/S/W.
MDP's Financial services team has top notch returns
Tough culture but stellar returns and just raise a growth fund with a new office in NYC and Florida. Would be a great place to start out as an analyst but bear in mind you’d likely do the bitch work of an associate
Bump - How's their FIG (&FinTech) and Business Service Groups?
I've heard FIG is a group to avoid like the plague in terms of sweaty culture
Can anybody provide some insight into SA and analyst recruiting? Maybe a general timeline?
SA 23 is over. First round is a 30 minute technical and 30 minute behavioral OCR. For the superday, they fly out about 40 kids. Total analyst class size is about 8 people iirc. You will only get an interview if you go to HYPS or you go to one of their targets.
I saw this got monkey shit. Is it false? Could anyone confirm this?
Superday was the 4th of april, its over. They mainly recruit out of midwest schools like northwestern umich, etc. which could be why the comment got shit
hey man, quick question if you don't mind for a potential upcoming interviewee. Is the 30 minute technical portion your standard IB stuff or is there market sizing and a case study? more so worried abt market sizing lol. also, any insight on techs for the super? Thanks so much man!
