Top tier. Operational focus. High exposure for juniors even in committee settings - unusual for large cap funds.
Amazing firm. Know they were out in the market raising a $13B fund. Pretty formal - suit and tie type culture. Someone quoted 340k for first years but I don't know if that's actually the case (although I do know a guy who is going there next year). Great returns. I view them as disciplined value investors. They will often pay lower multiples for more under the radar industrial / manufacturing businesses (I wouldn't quite call them Apollo or HIG though - CD&R has a strong operational focus). We run into them every now in then in the healthcare services space. Heard it's rather sweaty - not surprising for a solid-performing large cap fund.
Associates usually come from top-tier banks (most NYC based associates are from GS/MS/JPM/EVR/LAZ). Strong pipeline to HBS. I'm sure the departing associates there have no trouble finding interviews at hedge funds / other PE firms.
Can corroborate this. Folks are generally well-pedigreed and exit well to their choosing. CD&R is a very strong name
How much does undergrad matter for HBS / GBS from a place like this? How would a non-target look coming from here?
Does all in pay increase your second year?
At most places, yes
Could you exit from CD&R to a growth equity shop at the VP level post-MBA?
$4.7bn purchase of Epicor from KKR TMT recently, and they do a lot of manufacturing/industrial roll-ups
Lots of carve-outs / creative structures
Do they sponsor MBAs? Saw on another thread someone mentioned they might
Did you end up interviewing? Pls pm
