Bump
Can’t say much, but from the other side of the table, I’ve been impressed and it seems like a good team if you are interested in their verticals. Seems like they are good operators
They have a solid arm of dedicated ops folks from consulting
Awesome, thanks folks. Curious to hear others’ thoughts as well.
Bump?
Very, very solid. Long track record of raising successively bigger funds, good culture, good b school placement etc. Not sure on comp, but I've heard it's on the higher side for UMM (~$300k all in for associates).
Great fund. Was kind of bummed when I didn’t land an offer there although I’m very happy with where I ended up. Raised a $7B fund in the past couple of years. Pretty good performance. Have a sizable operations team that’s loaded with a bunch of former consultants. They do a good amount of work in the chemicals and business services spaces. Not afraid of capital intensive businesses. B school placement has traditionally been a bit weaker than that of some other top UMM funds (e.g., Berkshire, Golden Gate, New Mountain) but it looks like they’re sending at least 3 people to HBS this year (at least according to an HBS report I found online). And $300k comp as referenced above sounds consistent with what I was told a couple of years ago.
Hey there, could you possibly PM me about your experiences?
Any clues on comp for the in house ops team?
