I've heard anecdotally that they only return 1 or 2 associates from their whole class every year (which is 10+). Might be exaggeration but that's what a buddy who works there said. They replace the associates they they get rid of with folks from MBA programs with prior PE experience.

This is different than a place like KKR or Carlyle that usually only promotes their own Associates to VP and rarely ever hires outside MBAs

What do you mean by return 1-2 associates?

 

Any thoughts on culture? Types of deals they do? Feel like they’re more Lowkey than most large cap investors 

 

The top consulting firms dread working with them. They have yelled at seniors in my BB IB. They ask for and expect work over the weekends. They rescind offers if you are affected by layoffs. Truly seems like the most toxic PE firm. The modeling test in recruiting is very hard. Are the best for healthcare PE.

The yelling is unacceptable but in what context was this weekend work demanded? If they hired you or a live deal not sure how crazy that is

 

Growth seems like a good group with solid culture and experience. Have heard Capital is nightmarish though. 

In what way? Worse than other MFs or just bad. Feel like I’ve heard that TPG tends to be better than most MFs but who knows

A close friend is there and likes it overall. Definitely grinds hard on live deals, but that’s true anywhere. Overall, they say culture is pretty good: they’re actually friends with some of the other Associates, likes the seniors, says they have smart VPs, has limited weekend work unless on something live/going to IC, and says there’s not a big face time culture. Gets “free” lunch, dinner, and Ubers to and from office. I’m at another MF with worse perks and comp, and I’m consistently in earlier and leaving later than they do even if nothing to do because our culture demands it. Can’t speak to consultant/banker interactions, but for an Associate seat, they seem pretty solid.

 

There was a very good post in one of the others topics. Can’t seem to find it but recommend searching 

 

They bought a stake in my dad's company so that was cool. Outbid KKR and Carlyle 

 

Lots of claims thrown around here. Anyone who works there that can provide insight?

is recruiting specific for each of their individual groups, e.g. IDMC vs Software & Enterprise Technology 

Yes it is. Model test was the same thought.
