Anyone have an updated perspective on the firm? I've heard mixed things in the past but would be curious to hear what people think about them wrt culture/comp/exit opps etc.

Curious as well. A few years ago they were having considerable difficulty attracting talent due to a pretty terrible reputation in terms of culture, so I wonder if they have made efforts to turn that around (and their nicer people went over and started Altamont a while back). I suppose we won't find out if they have changed for some time.
