Have an interview lined up with Oaktree.
Does anyone have any information about them? Looks like from forum searches that they are specialized in distressed debt / HY, but curious how their PE group is (specifically the Global Principal group and Power Opptys group). In a nut-shell, a view on their groups, which are strongest, which are weakest.
Also, any info on culture, compensation would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

Oaktree Distressed (Originally Posted: 08/05/2007)
What is people's opinion on the Oaktree LA Distressed Debt group?
My knowledge is limited but I always thought that was what they were known for.
Very good, one of the top DD firms on the street. HQ is in LA too.
Bad to the bone.
Like Westcoasting said - the HQ is in LA and their back office stuff is deep in the heart of Texas.
