Does anyone have any information on Coatue's Private Investment team (Growth / Venture)? Hoping to understand how they are considered as investors, WLB, compensation. Any additional information is helpful. Thank you!

Skill as investors - mixed bag, lots of shitty 2020 / 2021 deals
WLB - awful, expected to be available at any time and tough culture
Comp - quite good, you get a year to ramp and then can make good money after that if you perform. If not, you’re fired
Team and structure has changed a lot over the years. The team used to be very lean, mostly focused on growth (Series C+). It's a lot larger now, multi-stage. Comp has always been top of market and cash heavy from what I've heard, but I don't know exact numbers. Culture used to be terrible, though not too surprising given it's a Tiger cub. Not just long hours, but people were treated like shit by Philippe Laffont, who's an utter tyrant. I heard it's improved over the years as they've brought in senior leaderhip like Dan Rose to shield people from Philippe. The brand is still strong, and unlike Tiger, they weren't as hyperactive in 2020-21 which has turned out well. The public side of the house also performed much better than the other Tiger cubs so their reputation is more intact than Tiger's.
Are tiger cubs known for long hours and bad culture? I thought outside coatue they were known to be better places to work re: mentorship and relative “chillsness” esp compared to MM HFs? Or if this in relation to other VCs where any HF/crossover fund is more intense relatively speaking
Also curious what comp looks like at the different levels of seniority?
