Avoid like the plague. Crazy hours, crazy partner, crazy expectations.
Can you explain?
K&E already has a rep for being a difficult place to work - the funds group in Houston exemplifies every bit of that negative reputation. Share partner that'll throw associates under the bus/yell at them, an endless amount of work (emails routinely going back and forth into the early hours of the morning; ppl routinely billing 250+ hr months) and a pretty toxic culture. K&E certainly is doing a lot of noteworthy things in the PE fund space, but I can't imagine being in the group in the Houston office would be anything but miserable.
is this general conensus/knowledge? Surely that is quite the resume builder at a minimum. Considering the market which is why I ask as I begin to look
