Pros

-Audax is a great place to learn and grow. From formal and informal mentorship, to on-the-job coaching, to quick repetitions on deals (thanks to the volume of transactions that come through the Buy & Build approach) junior investment professionals have numerous opportunities to learn new skills and test their judgement and investment acumen. -These early and repeated experiences provide individuals opportunity to increase their ownership and responsibility on deal teams early in their career -Though there are clearly outlined core competencies for each level and several supports and structures in place to help individuals progress in their roles, there is also an underlying culture of entrepreneurialism, ownership, taking initiative and stepping into new roles on teams that is celebrated at the firm -As a result, young professionals grow quickly and have large impacts on teams - internally and externally - early in their careers

Cons

-Stepping into new roles on teams can be uncomfortable and take hard work. Individuals hold themselves to high standards in order to deliver the work product that they've previously seen someone 1-2 years more senior on their team produce. -Learning is not always linear or easy, but it feels great to look back at the progress and feel pride in the process. We learn to ask for help on nuances of the deal from supervisors; we partner with our internal strategic resources groups for advice and expertise; we ruthlessly prioritize and manage our time; we build relationships with our internal Audax teams and management teams that are long lasting.

Pros

Unparalleled opportunity for the junior team to own the entire deal process. Respect is earned, but if you put in the work people are very invested in your success and progression, with ample opportunity for a full-career track from analyst to MD (almost all promotes / hires are from within). It is a very fast-paced work environment, which often means you get to look at a ton of new opportunities + gain significant exposure and experience in a relatively quick period of time. Great opportunity for junior team to learn by doing. Very collegial culture, flexible WFH schedule, opportunity to work with a lot of really smart and engaging people

Cons

Hours fluctuate but can be relatively long at times (not unlike any other PE firm), however the firm does put in a lot of effort to mitigate prolonged periods of long work hours.

Pros

- Awesome place to start & build a career as an investment professional; unmatched in the amount of deal experience you receive, development resources provided to you, and responsibility given to you at a young age; you will have done more deals 3 years into Audax than most investment professionals do in 10+ years, a valuable skillset to have - Growth / advancement opportunities are readily available - more so than most/all of their peer firms and at a faster pace; given the amount of deals they do, you have a lot of responsibility as a junior team member and allowed to step up into roles on teams / build experience that would not be available until many years later at other firms - Strong social culture and focus on mentorship - senior deal team members invest their time to build relationships with not only VPs & up, but also with associates and analysts; unique in the amount of exposure / interaction you have with the senior team at a junior level, culture of "bringing everyone to the meeting" and getting their voice into the conversations (all the way down to summer interns) - Audax consistently promotes VPs and MDs on their investment team that started at the firm as analysts / associates or even summer interns (very rare amongst other firms) - if you want a long term career path in Private Equity, no better place to be - Covers basically every industry, wide range of exposure to different types of companies and you can influence what types of investments you work on - Tons of infrastructure / support in place (legal, tax, cap markets, sourcing, etc.) so you can spend your time focused on core deal work - Smart people. The firm is growing and fund performance is excellent & extremely consistent

Cons

- You need to work hard to succeed at Audax, which is true of any firm that is worth working for, and Audax gives you all the tools you need to succeed if you want to
