Pros

OK reputation for tech investing in Europe.

Cons

Destroy companies they buy. Terrible owners. Do not know when to cut and when to invest. I feel bad for companies they buy and the people they fire without thought and have never seen such poor management of a portfolio. I realise layoffs are part of the pe investing process but they just don't know what they are doing and people are hurt as a result.

Pros

You get to learn every aspect of the investment process. You get to work directly with the experienced principals, learning from them on a daily basis. Everyone in the office is professional and friendly. Firm embraces work/life balance. Management communicates openly and fairly. Office is in downtown Menlo Park--conveniently located across from a Trader Joe's and many restaurants. The kitchen always has good coffee and chocolate chip cookies.

Cons

Like all investment groups, you have to spend considerable time pouring through thick documents during due diligence, but that's how you learn. Nothing else really.

Pros

One of the best performing investors out there. Colleagues are very smart and there's a lot to learn from them.

Cons

Nothing really, working hours can be long but that's the industry and it's much better than other places I've worked at before
