Oncycle Canada 2024

Based on previous WSO threads, here's what you need to know about on-cycle recruiting for Altas, Onex, and Brookfield in Canada:

1. Altas Partners:

   • Pros: Growing fund, great culture, excellent exit opportunities (e.g., Uber corp dev, B-School), and competitive pay (same as or higher than Onex).
   • Cons: Not a global brand name, long hours.

2. Onex:

   • Pros: Associates gain valuable experience working on complex deals, established associate program with on-cycle hiring, competitive pay in USD (around $300-$350k), good exit opportunities.
   • Cons: Intense work culture, recent underperformance and attrition, not growing as much as Brookfield.

3. Brookfield:

   • Pros: Growing significantly (e.g., fund V was $9B, fund VI target is $15B), global prestige, large deals, better hours compared to Onex and Altas.
   • Cons: Cash compensation below street level, long hours, minimal exits due to long-term retention for carry vesting, not an established associate program.

If you are looking for the best exits and brand recognition, Onex might be your top choice, followed by Altas. For better work-life balance, Brookfield could be a better option, though still demanding.

I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?
