Saw the Subway acquisition recently. Heard great things about the firm and how rapidly it has grown. Can people chime in and discuss what they have heard about the firm since I have not been able to read much on about them on wso.

IMO, I would take Roark over every IB group expect for tier 1A shops (think CVP/PJT RSSG) but would take Roark over tier 1B shops (think MOE/LAZ).

this is so gay
As far as I know, they've got a NYC office but most of the folks are in Atlanta. They've solidified themselves as the fast food franchise PE fund but...this seems quite niche. Per Preqin/PitchBook, their previous funds' performance is 3rd and 4th quartile. Pretty grim. I'm not sure what their rep is nowadays but I'm confused by the other poster who commented above about taking Roark over any other IB group. That's wild. I mean, if you plan to be in ATL long-term, sure why not. It's good pay and steady living. But if you want more varied experience, I'd imagine you'd look elsewhere.
