For the Good of the Firm

Pros

Generous PTO policy for entry-level analyst positions. The Firm touches multiple aspects of the private markets giving insight across strategies and sectors

Cons

Siloed investment teams: No coordination amongst investment teams when looking at funds vs investments HR is not well-equipped to handle a 500+ person company, as evidenced by recent management exits Work culture is centered around an idea of work-life balance, and pay is subsequently less due to this idea; yet, workflow amount and expectations are still similar to other PE shops Hamilton Lane is not a true PE shop, they do fund of funds, secondaries, and co-investments, so finding and sourcing true PE deals and engaging with companies is the exception not the norm, counter to how the firm positions itself in informational interviews Noticeable difference between pre and post-IPO hiring employees culturally

Pros

Some great people at the mid and junior levels. Summer hours on Fridays.

Cons

Extremely political particularly w/the 5 senior managers. Big egos. They always tout the HL "culture" which basically means don't be an innovative thinker. It's our way or no way.
