Makena Capital ? Thoughts ?

HR reached out to me to interview for an Summer Investment Analyst role. I understand that’s it’s a ~25 billion endowment style investment fund that spun off from Stanfords endowment fund. They mainly hire from Stanford but previous posts on this site mentioned that it’s not a good program and pay is “ok”.

Anyone have any insight into comp, WLB, culture and exits ?

Thank you
