You get 30 days off. You also have to deal with horrible management - like some of the rudest people in the biz.

 

From what I have heard, pay is below street, culture is French heavy (don't necessarily need it to work but need it to progress), but can exit decently if you just work as a junior.

I have a call with an investor in one of those funds in a couple of weeks, will update anything else I learn.

 

So comp below street, any insights to the comp progress upwards?

Also, any idea on their fund performances?

For a shop with so much AUM, they make really questionable decisions. For starters, the CEO is a huge prick - always speaking poorly about others firms publicly. Their head of secondaries is a director (not MD) - they didn't bother to hire a replacement after the head went to Apollo so they just called a VP director and figured it is a way to pay less. From what I know of the secondaries team they have no skill or talent and struggle to generate 1.3x returns. I can confirm that even in the U.S. you will get 30 days off, but the pay is quite under market and you won't get carry.
