Great firm, strong performance, with slightly older school mentality. Lower comp than other growth equity shops in Boston and Northeast but like others have mentioned, have heard the hours are a bit better than other similar firms like Volition, JMI, etc. Only thing is be prepared to source heavily for majority (like 90%) of your time there. That said, a lot of growth equity roles involve associates sourcing so that might be what you are looking for already lol. If you can land a role there, it can serve as a launchpad into larger growth and tech shops if you’d like such as Summit, TA, KKR Growth, etc. I met their team when they were fundraising for their most recent fund and they have remained very disciplined on fund size compared to peers like Great Hill.
