General Atlantic Associate Program Info
There aren't many posts on here about GA from the associate program perspective. Does anyone have any information to share on the prestige/pay / work/life of being an associate at GA? Curious about this as the firm is now sector-specific in hiring compared to before (I could be wrong here). Any information on any of the groups would be helpful especially is COVID has made culture worse. I'm targeting a 2022 Summer Start.
Specifically mentioning the Associate program as there are already many posts about the Analyst / Thematic Sourcing Program which I would not be applying for. From my understanding the IB > PE Associate program is more of a traditional PE role focused on deal execution as opposed to sourcing.

Do you have any more info about this? Doesn't really seem like one bad deal will sully the name that much (otherwise there would be more than a few PE firms out of business). Are you saying that deal flow has picked up in an effort to move past the Greensill situation?
I think they will be fine, even with that misstep they have top quartile returns and a solid brand. If I remember correctly they still recovered 50% of their investment. Softbank on the contrary.. lol. But the FT article about their MD in London was quite embarrassing.

Anyone?
Do they hire consultants?
Yes - one of the most consultant friendly shops to recruit for.
All of their associates are on the website and with a quick look did not see many consultants, so not sure what you are referring to. It looks like the MBB hires are in the Europe offices primarily.
GA is solid
Anyone know which headhunter handles their hiring?

What does WLB look like? Is it a sweatshop?
Is the London office sweaty?
