I'd focus more on the size of the fund per employee...are they managing $150 million or $500 million. big difference.

With PE, firms can be much more "lean" than banks because there is not as much administrative crap and not as much of a need for analyst monkeys to do grunt work... and they outsource a lot of the HR-related tasks to headhunters.
Even the biggest funds, e.g. KKR etc. only have a few hundred employees, compared to banks with tens of thousands.
If you meant "8 people" as in "1 founder, 2 MDs, 2 VPs, 3 Associates" that would be fine and there are actually $500MM funds with that structure.
What you described does sound a little small but I would still go for it if it's managing at least a few hundred million.
Keep in mind that the majority of PE firms fall into this category as well - there are only a few "big" ones and then lots of smaller ones with anywhere between $100MM and $1B AUM.
