Solid firm. Good reputation as UMM

Heard good things

I've always heard really good things. I hear the culture there is great.

Great culture and solid rep. Do work the sweaty typical UMM hours though so would just expect that

Know a guy who recently left for their tech opps fund. Great culture but as others have mentioned above, hours will be standard UMM so make sure to temper your expectations.

I haven't seen much about them either, what have you found so far?

If you're reading conflicting opinions online then it likely varies department to department. I can see how it could really go either way. It probably depends on how dedicated you are to ensuring your own WLB, too. A firm will always let you work yourself to the bone if you show that you're willing to do so.

I’ve also heard good things!

Work here currently, happy to answer specific questions if helpful

Think you have people being more thoughtful about deploying resources, but the job is what it is. UMM PE is never going to go below 65-70 hours per week unless your firm is either overstaffed or not focused on deploying

I've been working here for about two years now, and I have to say, I love my job. The company culture is great and the people are wonderful to work with. But recently, I've noticed that my manager has been asking me to do more and more work on my own without giving me any additional compensation for my time. He just keeps telling me that if I want to get ahead, then this is what I need to do.

I'm not sure what to do here—do you have any advice?

The PE culture is sick. The 20 something VP was rude to our partner because our team took thanksgiving and the day before off and it was in the engagement letter that we were gonna be off. He kept emphasizing that his team did our job while we were on a break. Dude we are not sick like you and we have lives. I see something about how s**t the PE culture is in every deal we support.
