Have a friend of a friend who worked there. Heard that it can be sweaty. They're pretty active at finding add ons so there's always work to do which is good and bad. Comp is on the low end but could have poor info. They mostly do LBOs so it compares to a MM PE shop.
Any idea on the hours worked there. Is the sweatiness similar to IB hours?
Firm just finished raising 8bn last year, pretty solid fund sizes given the environment in the past years in tech.
Also had some large exits (payrix to FIS I think, sevenrooms to DD) but leans heavy into buy-and-build strategy.
Seems like smart group but have heard can be sweaty. Competes in similar space to AKKR.
Have been riding the SaaS wave well. SaaS apocalypse hit it hard though but told LPs, similar to other SaaS focused funds, that it is a great opportunity. Questionable. Reputation as real revolving door though. Culture is very sweaty and upward mobility is very limited. There are better seats
