I have friends there and I don’t know if that part is true but it’s a very cut throat place. Not working the same hours as a MF but there’s a ton of juniors and a narrow promotion track and they’re very focused on quantifiable metrics (ie how many sourcing emails / calls you do a month).

Performance also sucks so have heard the pressure has ramped recently and it’s a very sharp elbowed place - more of a tech vibe where it’s not overtly toxic like an Apollo but very much a stab you in the back place
