Menlo Park TMT is ass. Bona fide sweatshop because junior employees are griding out work for almost every company that comes to them, and sometimes it doesn't even matter because the bankers stop you from even entering the auction process. Expect consistent late nights and shitty seniors, also you're going to get way fewer deal reps than like the five actual good large-cap tech investors right now. This is what happens when you put people who don't like tech in charge of tech investing and hire based on perceived prestige.  

On the other hand, New York TMT is great, culture and dealflow-wise. I've heard that hours are better than most megafunds too. Also, they have one of the best media practices on the street (Ted's doing some cool shit up there).
