MM / UMM PE Shops with Good Culture

Don’t care about returns, reputation for MBA exit opps, even sector. Are there any shops known to be good culturally? Shops that overhire associates (so the opposite of Veritas) and don’t have a ton of assholes (so the opposite of cd&r, LG, amsec, etc)

Have heard good things about LGP and Bain, anywhere else ?

 

Could you elaborate more? Been trying to find out more about the firm

 

Are there firms that are worse or better than others and why? Can someone explain what qualifies as “good culture” in context of pay / performance expectations?

 

My interactions were positive but I’ve anecdotally heard negative things 

 

This is going to turn into that older thread where every firm’s culture is going to get both a positive and negative response. Unfortunately I think it’s hard to say for example that firms like Genstar have a great culture because it’s so people dependent. Whereas in IB generally you get a standard experience, PE firms can be widely different in terms of standards (strategy, staffings, types of individuals attracted to these firms, etc.). One person’s great experience can be a nightmare for another associate because they worked for the wrong person. 

 

If IB is standardized and PE shops are more idiosyncratic, you would think some shops are better than others. I don’t get what you’re saying
