BC Partners Reviews

Pros

A great firm to work at with a real team environment. The Senior leadership team are very visible and approachable and really care about their staff. Lots of longevity with staff which is a testament to the good working environment.

Cons

Work is challenging but I wouldn’t really consider this a con as keeps the role really interesting as always learning new things.

Pros

Flexible time for working Salaries is nice Nice culture Nice team to work with Promotion

Cons

Long-time in average Competitive Firm size is not that big

Pros

Supportive, growing team where Partners take the time to invest in the junior employees

Cons

Workload can be a lot, but not uncommon in private equity

Pros

Great firm with a strong collegial culture. Lean team provides opportunity for learning and impact. At an important inflection point as it is gaining structure to support scale and diversification.

Cons

Some cultural inconsistencies across offices.

Pros

Great firm with long and successful heritage. Lean team enables great deal experience. Culture is a strong point. Smart, collegial, fun group of people. Invest in interesting and relevant businesses - growth companies that are market leaders.

Cons

Work is demanding as in any PE firm. Lean team means you are always working and often on multiple deals/projects. Flip side is I'm always learning and engaged.

Pros

Very solid culture of mentorship and apprenticeship. The team is very lean, therefore a lot of thoughts are put into operating as efficiently as possible, which is not a given in private equity. Senior professionals exhibit a strong willingness to see everyone succeed and grow within the firm. Rigorous structures put in place facilitate adaptation.

Cons

Because the team is so lean, one has to be willing and able to both step up / take on more responsibilities than the typical role dictates, and roll up sleeves to get things done. This can be confusing if not extremely organized. Finally, the recent headcount growth has left the firm a bit short on real estate.

Pros

Culturally great and not a single sharp elbow in the office Seniors are considerate of your time Open-door policy, even among the highest ranks Intellectually-rigorous environment where people will challenge your views and even junior people are encouraged to engage in debates about investment merits

Cons

Because the New York office is growing quickly, there's kind of an entrepreneurial vibe which isn't for everybody Very selective recruitment / interviewing and vetting process which felt very long and rigorous as a candidate

Pros

Still a partnership unlike other large buyout funds like Blackstone, KKR or Carlyle. Partners all work there side by side with more junior colleagues. large transactions, top professional environment, super smart yet humble. Great team environment.

Cons

Work hard play hard mentality may not appeal to everyone but hard working, smart individuals flourish at BCP

Pros

- variety of deals and companies that the firm analyses and invests in - collaborative culture - inquisitive and curious culture - self-development opportunity

Cons

- deal investing is challenging and deals sometimes don't work out which can make for tough periods as you try and recover the situation

Pros

- Team friendly environment - Upward mobility/Strong culture of internal promotion - Highly competitive compensation system - Interesting deals - Lots of responsibility - Coaching from senior members of the firm - Strong focus on work life balance - Strong leadership from Firm Chairman

Cons

- Need to have strong voice within small team. Can't blend into the background like you can at larger firms.
