Hey Analyst 1 in IB-M&A, I'm here to break the silence...any of these links help you?:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Any updates on this / has anyone heard back from interviews? Ignore the title
Culturally these guys are great. Very friendly and down-to-earth (but still smart / credentialed) people. I think being outside of the Midtown bubble has a positive effect on your psyche. That said they are in Mount Kisco, which is in the burbs and not an especially close one. As of a couple years ago the firm had a shuttle for Manhattan-based employees, catered lunches, etc. but it's still a rough commute you won't have to deal with most other places.
In terms of approach, they are extremely top-down / thesis-driven where >80% of investments begin with an industry-focused "white paper." These are LEGIT research products, like 30 page slide decks analyzing industries, drivers, etc. Since they are so focused (my impression is 4-6 active white papers per sector at a time) I could easily see a scenario where you get fewer deal reps than somebody at a comparable-sized firm, albeit with higher conversion rates on the ones you do pursue. They also tend to be a little less aggressive than peers as it relates to leverage, management changes, M&A, pre-empting processes, etc. which probably have their own set of pros and cons.
Any word if they've closed out their recruiting process? Believe it started a 2/3 weeks ago but was expected to be a prolonged timeline from what I heard

Smart guys for sure. When they find a sector they like, they go all in. They have been though paying market-clearing and record-setting multiples over the past several years so either they’re smarter than everyone else and know something others don’t, or it’s going to be a set of dismal returns for their current portfolio..
Any one know what pay is?
Anyone know what headhunter group they use?
CPI
They pay huge prices and don’t do any portco work, hand it off to MBB. Sounds nice

Good culture, chill people, and they run the LGP investment strategy of buying high for good assets, don't operationally change up their portcos, and hope to sell even higher.
