Cain International REPE (Los Angeles)

Came across an Analyst job posting for Cain International. They're opening an office in Los Angeles and they currently have an office in NY and London. Anyone know anything about Cain?

It’s a “partnership-centric firm that focuses on gateway cities.” Some of their US investments include the Waldorf Astoria & Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, a development site in Beverly Hills, and a large condo development in Miami. They also have some assets in London, Paris, and Spain.

Just curious at what your thoughts are on this company and how reputable they are if at all. I believe they’re more well known in London. I live in Los Angeles and I know this is a great place for landing a REPE job but this one sounds interesting.. its just not as big as say Starwood or Blackstone obviously. I would love to hear some thoughts.
