What’s the deal with Compass Diversified Holdings (CODI)?

Looks like they’re a public holding company that acts a lot like a PE firm. They look like they have a sizable portfolio but have kind of a sketchy vibe too. Anyone have any experience with them?

Super weird but associates seem to have legit backgrounds? Does anyone have color on comp?

 

Never interviewed with them but know a couple folks that worked there (junior and mid-level) - not sure what the sketchy comments are in reference to, but generally heard decent things about culture / WLB.  They are CT based, so if you're living in the city, be prepared for a rougher commute that potentially offsets the above average WLB.
