Very aggressive at pursuing deals in which they are interested. Recently announced that they are acquiring Hot Topic. Rumored to be circling a couple of other $500mm - $2bn deals in the apparel retail space. Overall I would say a solid, growing PE firm with good prospects.
Have some friends who work there - very good experience and good culture.

bump? What's the reputation today? Still top of consumer?
If you ever want to learn how to pull blood from a stone, dive into some of their deals.
Definitely still a top consumer investor. They're very smart - I've seen co-invest from them and also sat across the table from them and I'd much rather be on their side of the table than opposite them.
In a prior role I had we were brought in for a co-invest position and I agree they are top notch and will do whatever it takes to get a deal they want.
Anyone know if hours/culture is as bad as some say they are?
