Ladies & Gents - the time has come: despite the job of a PE Associate/VP at the likes of Advent, H&F, Bain Capital, CVC, Carlyle, Apax etc. is intellectually stimulating, to be in this game for the long-term culture and sustainability are key. therefore, if you could pick any PE firm in London to optimize the prestige/tier vs, culture/lifestyle trade-off, where would you go to?
Keen to hear thoughts of fellow PE ivnestment professionals!

What is your background and your thoughts to kick off?
H&F has probably the worst combination of hours / atmosphere in London.
Heard similar, but at least they have excellent performance for a rather large fund.
Advent and Apollo are 2 mega cap PE funds which still somehow manage to produce top tier returns for investors. Your souls would likely be crushed at firms like these.
Have heard good things about KKR's culture
I've heard pretty awful things...
I've heard good and bad things ;) The info I have is from just one of the coverage teams though, might differ!
The Blackstone Group LP
