Have worked closely with them.

They have a lot of money to deploy so that's good.

Folks I worked with were great. Smart, reasonable individuals who "get it".

Be prepared to work in an extremely bureaucratic environment though. I understand this is an LP shop so pretty common but it was nauseating at times with them. Their deal memos are simply obnoxious. Content for the point of content. Way too meaty. Personally, that'd drive me crazy.

 

I’m meh on them… doesn’t seem like brutal hours but yeah bureaucratic culture. Partnered with them on a deal and they were fairly hands off until a decision needed to be made then they needed 100 layers of communication. They were looking for a 1st year associate ~1 year ago (non-LA office) and a headhunter quoted $100k + 20% bonus if that helps.

 

This is from the standpoint of a broker many years ago, but they were absolutely horrific to deal with as a client. Incredibly slow in making decisions, paralysis by analysis, and just did not "get it" in terms of how the leasing markets worked--ie, sitting on time sensitive proposals, retrading on BS terms that don't matter, etc. Just a single data point so don't take it too seriously but maybe indicative of their process/thinking.
