H.I.G. Capital Associate Program Review

Hello All,

I wanted to take the time to write this review as I think there is a lot of misconception in the market about H.I.G. Capital but more importantly their associate program.

H.I.G. has certainly had a bad reputation in the past but the firm and associate program today are NIGHT AND DAY different than in years past. The firm has taken significant steps to ensure that the associate program and firm culture are in line with the best of the best.

I recently completed my two-year associate program there and it was one of the best experiences I could have ever asked for. Every single person, from VP to senior MD, is sincerely invested in your growth and success. While the deal flow you will see is unrivaled versus other PE firms, I think what sets H.I.G. apart from its competitors is how integral associates are as members of the deal team. You are not just an "excel monkey" but are a truly valued member of the team. Associates are constantly called upon, be it in management meetings or investment committee, to offer their insights and perspective.

I can honestly say you would be hard pressed to find a better associate program on the street than H.I.G.. I grew an incredible amount in my 2 years there, both personally and professionally. I can’t imagine having started my PE career anywhere else and will forever be thankful for my time and experience there.

I hope this helps clarify any issues you have heard in the past regarding H.I.G.. Feel free to send me a DM if you have any specific questions. Always happy to help!
