This in Milan or in general?
In general, don’t know about Milan.
Worked with them on the sell-side and can confirm, very collaborative and laid back culture
I have 3 friends at EQT, and have worked with them on several deals. They are more collaborative that their American counterparts, and have a slightly nerdy culture. I'm not sure I would say that they are laid back - they are definitely competitive when it comes to tight processes, and there are very hard working individuals there. I don't think your experience at EQT is going to be vastly different to the one at UMM Scandinavian funds such as Verdane or FSN, who also have European offices.
Not that familiar with the Milan office, but have worked with people from Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen and Zurich. There are not that notable differences between the offices (Could also be because the CEO Christian Sinding, who's a Norwegian, has worked and started many of the European offices, and the culture tends to be slightly similar).
I think work culture is vastly different between FSN and Verdane. FSN has a pretty tough culture, work comes above anything else - it is even one of their three core values (“Team First”). Verdane is much more relaxed.
Both firms are top quartile though.
That's a fair point, and I agree. The two are different, but I was trying to relate it to EQT, which I personally would put somewhere in the middle of those two.
That’s helpful. Can you elaborate on the culture of FSN and Verdane and if they would be good places to join? Specifically interested in their German offices
