Any thoughts? They spun off from Golden Gate and raised a fund pretty quickly with a couple of fairly large deals. Seem legit?

Career Resources
Very aggressive at pursuing deals in which they are interested. Recently announced that they are acquiring Hot Topic. Rumored to be circling a couple of other $500mm - $2bn deals in the apparel retail space. Overall I would say a solid, growing PE firm with good prospects.
Have some friends who work there - very good experience and good culture.
Bump. Any new thoughts post Staples deal?

bump? What's the reputation today? Still top of consumer?
If you ever want to learn how to pull blood from a stone, dive into some of their deals.
Definitely still a top consumer investor. They're very smart - I've seen co-invest from them and also sat across the table from them and I'd much rather be on their side of the table than opposite them.
In a prior role I had we were brought in for a co-invest position and I agree they are top notch and will do whatever it takes to get a deal they want.
Anyone know if hours/culture is as bad as some say they are?
