Career Resources
Heard second-hand that it sucks there as an associate and junior members are actively trying to lateral out.
Few years old and anecdotal, but these dudes acted like absolute clowns/slimeballs in a process. Not the Romney PE shop I'd want to work for.
Interviewed there, didn't vibe w/ them
What was their interview process like?
Good exit opp from the public sector
Interviewed here as well, fund was really focused on using political connection to bolster growth. They market themselves with a list of “connections” in their wheelhouse / LP base. People were generally nice but this is one of those small shops that could either be a great opportunity or completely miserable
Could you shed a bit of light on what the rprocess was like?
Sure, CPI leads their recruitment. When I interviewed it was a 3 round process:
1st Round - 2 of their investment professionals joined, walked through resume and then did a ‘mini case-study’ which was a high level walk through a potential investment
2nd Round - In person interview at the office, more case study work
Final Round - In person interviews, Informal Discussions, Modeling Test and then case study presentation
Ultimately turned down the offer for another opportunity so can’t speak to actual lifestyle / culture.
