      A chance to skip two years of ibanking and begin investing right out of undergrad

      Summer intern

      Pros

      Summer internship program is really well designed to give you a taste of what it is like to work on the deal team with one week of training at beginning of the program. There is no make work, first week on job I traveled to a management meeting with an MD and VP, I got to work on two live deals and two portfolio companies during the ten weeks. Really liked the people and thought there was a good mix of social events to get to know the senior team.

      Cons

      You definitely work hard and can travel extensievly depending on your deals / portfolio companies. It is a matrix starffing model, so every team you work on differs- which is a con and a pro. Post-undergrad comp scales up significantly in third year after school, so if you're thinking about leaving in first or second year, it's not as lucrative.

      Though I no longer work there, I had a positive experience at Audax and would repeat my decision to join the company

      Pros

      - One of the only PE firms to hire directly from undergrad. 1st year is hard work, but better lifestyle than I-Banks and more meaningful / interesting work. Opportunity to be promoted directly to post-MBA positions - Greater responsibility at junior levels than at the large cap PE firms. No hard line between pre-MBA and post-MBA (partner track) employees - Emphasis on people development through both formal and informal mentorship. Formal reviews are every 6 months, but people are willing to give feedback between reviews - Generally good group of people who are friends both inside and outside the office - Free market staffing model allows some flexibility on picking who to work with and what type of deals to work on - Exit opportunities to top B-Schools or top PE firms

      Cons

      - Very granular portfolio reporting (do weekly tracking and reporting of weekly sales metrics) - Chase every deal mentality - Limited opportunity for promotion at senior levels

      A tough place to work

      Pros

      A lot of people to hang out with, a few senior people who are really good and nice, and if you like Boston, there aren't a ton of PE firms.

      Cons

      Thank less culture. Underpayment vs other PE firms. Many managing directors don't understand finance. Over monitor portfolio companies. Obscenely long work hours. Condescending and egotistical management.
