Have been on the other side of deals from them, I think they’re mostly ex-Big 4 guys, do mostly middle market deals, comp is better than Big 4 on average but is more variable.

My friend (gay) joined them from Big4. He left after a few months because he was having a hard time meshing with his direct team’s culture. Said it was very “bro-ey” and had difficulty relating to them / found his team to be less willing to engage with him.

I would said it is likely not indicative of culture overall. Just his personal experience.
