Any insight into NEP Seems like they are a 2 and out shop that sends primarily to Booth, Wharton, and kellogg, which makes sense. Opened a new office in miami, but I'm more interested in the minneapolis office. Would love to know more regarding culture, associate experience, hours, comp, etc.

NEP is the most reputable Midwest shop outside Chicago, but unless you are planning on staying Midwest or using them to get into Booth/Kellogg I would lean towards their Miami office. New offices also have better culture generally as well.

I would disagree with the above that they are known for being nice, more of smart but douchey (at least at the senior level), and have heard relatively negative things about hours and associate experience but the pay is solid for MSP.

How many people are actually in the FL office? Isn't the head douche based down there?

 

Not actually sure, I don't know anything about the Miami office and it probably has a similar culture to MSP, I was more-of referring to recruiting for other PE funds and general career/lifestyle to which I would lean Miami. I wouldn't worry about the head of the fund though, it's really the VPs and Principals that Associates have to work with on the daily. 

But shit does run downhill so toxic VPs and Principals usually means a toxic head. 

 

Lol I last time I heard someone describe an individual as a Doucherton McGee was when I overheard my five year old cousin play Xbox live. I wouldn't listen to anything this child says and figure it out for yourself. Minneapolis is a great place and NEP has a good track record of being a premier fund in the area.
