Keensight
How is Keensight? Is it true that they are downsizing their London office and you need to be French to succeed there?

Career Resources
Correct. Driven by team dynamics, ability to keep core people, etc. Also, Keensight hasn’t really succeeded in getting enough deals outside of France.
Thanks a lot, very helpful. Could you add more colour? Would you recommend going there to a non-French?
Feel like they’re still a good fund.
What’s your alternative is the question?
I heard latest funds' performance is not great and they had a ton of churn at senior level.. will be difficult to fundraise after that
Bump - any further views on the fund or London office?
Bottom third returns if I’m not mistaken. Large exodus of mid levels recently.
What went wrong? Overpaid for stuff?
How did this place go from well recognised, good performing to seeing a lot of mid levels leave? Do you have intel?
You can always make up your marks. Also, though to keep up performance when you are constantly scaling as they did.
Would recommend staying away from most French PE firms - very political, very bureaucratic, and quite discriminatory against you if you aren't French. ARCHIMED is another group I'd avoid like the plague.
I would go one step further: stay away from French people - hon hon hon
Can you share some more intel / insights on this? What about the London office?
Bump
We wanna know what happened!
I repeat - French PE is a joke
Hi I've been helped by your posts, do you mind if I DM you for a career question since I'm an Asian study at France...Much appreciate!
You're welcome to. Just to be completely transparent my 1st recommendation will be to leave France.
are they hiring? what HH do they use? if anyone has insight on who is hiring more generally please reply or message me
