Whitman Peterson

Does anyone have any info on this firm? Was approached by them for a FT role and wanted to see if anyone had any insight on them. The few people I have met with seem to be great people. 

Would love and appreciate any insight you guys have.

I do not personally work at Whitman Peterson, but my firm has a long term very close relationship with them so I have worked with them. But cannot speak to comp, internal culture, WLB.

What I can say is they are very sharp and though they may not be as "well known or reputable" as some other firms in the industry. The people you would work under/learn from, early on in your career would build both a great foundation and relationships within the industry. So whether you decided to stay and make your career there, leave for another firm, or do something more entrepreneurial you should be prepared to do that.

I will note they are more LP capital, so if you are looking to have an on the ground asset management role, this may not be the best fit. That being said looking at good deals and underwriting, looking at JVA's from the LP perspective can provide good insight in a GP Equity role.

That being said I have never worked there and only have this from working alongside this firm. So if someone else can provide greater insight, or can personally dismiss this that would be beneficial.
