Does anyone have insight into this group? Not a lot of information about it on WSO. Investment criteria, culture, exits, caliber, prestige, etc...? Obviously, KKR is a huge name but I don't know if the Menlo Park office is as good, specifically the software team. How does it also compare to other pure-Software investing companies like Thoma, Vista?

I work in tech PE (SL/TB) so I'll try and answer what I can.
The culture and hours at KKR MP are notoriously terrible - it is significantly worse than NY and many junior employees have left because of it. Obviously, it is prestigious because... well KKR lmao, but the group itself hasn't done any impressive deals. If you actually want to do software investing you should go to TB or Vista. The difference between these two and KKR MP is massive; they aren't even in the same tier.
