Have anyone heard of these guys? Saw some threads on the forum but not much information on them.
Specifically, looking for information on the culture, perception, and performance of the firm. What kind of hours would you be working, how is the work (any cold calling?), and how are the exit opportunities.
Also, how is living in Boston?

Went through three rounds with them for a position directly out of Ugrad. I liked everyone that I met there, but the interviews were pretty tough. 2 first rounds, then a second round when I was in the office from 8am until 4pm, case study, brain teasers, technicals, etc. Then a final round which was just a lunch with a number of the people in the firm. Culture seemed pretty good, offices are really nice (great pantry haha).
Don't know a lot about the work, hours, etc.
Oh wow did you end up accepting the offer?
manbehindtheman-
if you can't tease out the answer to that question from billy ray's post, you are in pretty rough shape for interviews.
Yea... thought it was pretty obvious. I didn't get the offer in the spring, they decided to go with an MBA candidate. They called me back in for yet another round of interviews in late summer but I had just started at my current position and respectfully declined.
Information on Monitor Clipper Capital (Originally Posted: 01/13/2011)
Does anyone have any information on these guys? Obviously they have a website. More on the culture, quality of guys, reputation formed by actually working with them?
I interviewed there - really bright guys. A few of the partners were founders of Monitor consulting group with Michael Porter. Most of the partners have HBS backgrounds, although they promote from within without MBAs. Seems they are basically trying to copy the Bain Consulting / Bain Capital model on a smaller scale. I know they generally hire straight out of undergrad, usually 1-2 analysts per year.
My impression is that reputation is similar to Audax (but better lifestyle), although they are not as well known because they only have about 15-20 investment professionals in the whole firm, whereas Audax has 15-20 analysts.
PublicEquity1 -- your timing on this post is interesting. Looking for a senior associate position?
Does anyone have an idea what kind of comp a firm like this offers to pre-MBA associates? Their structure is kinda weird: 9 partners, 2 principals, 3 VPs, 2 associates, and 4 analysts It seems as though their last fund raised less than $500m
Monitor Clipper Interview (Originally Posted: 03/05/2009)
Hey everyone,
I have an interview tomorrow with Monitor Clipper Partners in Boston. Has anyone been through the process, have any insight on either the interviews or the group as a whole?
Thanks!
I interviewed with them before. Their fund is getting completely destroyed. Nice guys, though -- a lot of Harvard MBAs with consulting experience at Monitor.
I guess I'm your competition but I don't mind helping out. Are you doing a phone interview or in-person?
If you interview with David he may ask you: "How much of a $200mm debt package could you pay off with $50mm of EBITDA?" The answer is roughly $50mm less interest payments less capex.
good luck - may the best man win ;-)
Monitor Clipper is a great firm. Didn't know about their funds tanking though.
