We've shopped a few deals in front of them. Seems like a decent shop.
Very legit. Backed by big the full faith of some big names, and with access to a tremendous amount of capital (if the situation calls for it).

Anyone know anything about them? Not much out there on the web
For those in Chicago, how is their reputation in the city?
I'd say they are fairly well connected...

It is considered a merchant bank for family owned businesses. I am not familiar with them in terms of reputation. Below is a news article from 2009.
The merchant banking firm BDT Capital Partners, founded in March by Byron Trott, has reportedly raised $2 billion. Mr. Trott is a former Goldman Sachs banker and adviser to Warren Buffett. The firm will focus on investing in and providing advice to family-run and entrepreneurial businesses. Former head of M&A at Motorola, Don McLellan, also recently joined the firm.

Noticed the associates at this firm have one to three years of experience at bulge bracket banks. They also have limited information available, i.e. no website and no Linkedin picture nor description.

anyone with more info on these guys?
I don't know much about them either, but this link might be able to tell you a little more:

If you can't find much more info for them than that, I would say don't bother trying to get an interview with them.
Any idea how the analyst/associate role compares to a traditional pe experience? If you were interested in traditional buyout, would you put BDT in that bucket coming out of a top banking program?
BDT is a really interesting place, and is pretty unique in how they operate. Like a merchant bank, they're involved with both investing and advisory. They raised a buyout fund of ~6bn in 2015, and dont use it exclusively to do LBO's. The capital is flexible and long-term, allowing them to take minority or majority stakes. From what i understand, they generally try to partner with larger family/founder owned business so that they can provide them with liquidity and long-term capital. Once they've developed a relationship with a client, either through an investment or otherwise, they generally provide them with advisory services. However, i don't believe this is usually in the form of sellside advisory (although it could be). Probably more along the lines of buyside or strategic alternatives.
BDT hires analysts, and is active in recruiting at UChicago. Analysts are usually working more on the advisory side, and are expected to stay for ~4 years (promoted to associate after 2 years) and start to do more investing at the associate level.
For associate recruiting, they run a process similar to other large PE firms (hiring IB analysts), and have used HSP in the past to help with recruiting. As an associate, your time is split ~50/50 between investing and advisory.
Apparently the culture is really solid at the firm, and that Byron is a great guy. Hours seem to be in-line with IB at analyst and associate level (guys work pretty hard), but from what i hear, comp is on the higher end of the spectrum. Definitely a place that takes a long-term view in its relationships with both clients and employees.
It should be noted that i dont work here, so a lot of the above were takeaways from conversations i've had with friends who work there or have interviewed there.
Superb break down thanks!
