Thoughts on Starwood (Capital Group, not the REIT/Trust)? I've heard it's a sweatshop, but the experience, compensation, and exit opps are elite. I'd love to hear some more thoughts on starting as analyst in PM/AM/Acq straight out of undergrad.

No you
Harsh but true. Can almost guarantee no self-respecting analyst (or prospect) at a mega-fund uses WSO for Q&A.
I wouldn’t necessarily agree. It’s a helpful resource to learn about potential employers once you learn to filter through the college kid / inexperienced opinions which are typically just regurgitation of prior threads / crowd view. That said, strong candidates generally use the search function first and ask more insightful questions than should I start at one of the most reputable REPE funds.
If you're looking for a name with clout, this is the cream of the crop. But unless you have an impeccable background- don't get your hopes up.
Why is it so hard to get a Starwood gig?
They hire almost exclusively from Ivies.
You need good bone structure
Interviewed at Rialto out of undergrad, got the impression it was very sweaty. Would imagine Starwood to be similar if not worse.
