Denham Capital Management Reviews

Pros

I normally don't leave reviews but I saw the most recent negative review and figured it was someone with a grudge so wanted to express my thoughts... Pros: Work-life balance, great teams, good communication, opportunities within the company, great bonuses for all positions, good benefits, 4 weeks PTO, cell phone paid, lap top assigned.

Cons

Low morale at the moment.

Pros

You will learn a lot and be exposed to big data

Cons

Not yet find anything disappointing

Pros

hours are reasonable, pay is average

Cons

terrible leadership, employees seem focused on short-term only

Pros

Great benefits and lots of room for growth

Cons

Culture could use some work

Pros

Strong teams across all three verticals, although each vertical is unique and in different office locations. Experience may vary significantly between verticals. Good culture across the teams. Great exposure and learning experience. Surrounded by extremely good people who you can learn a lot from as a junior. Generally very intellectually stimulating work. Cool offices, especially the Houston office. Good compensation.

Cons

Not a true con, but operates under up/out system (as most firms do) - you have to earn your seat if you want to continue on from associate level Hours can be very long, as with any seat in this industry No formal training programs (not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion) Work is very high stress, as with any seat in this industry As a junior you can waste a lot of time waiting for comments, instructions, and occasionally on a task that later gets thrown out or made irrelevant. There can be a lot of very tedious, low-value tasks Strategy / investment thesis and processes can be very narrow - some good opportunities are missed because of this Heavy OG focus is a tough sell in today's market and Mining is somewhat niche - you may be pidgeonholed by working in these verticals

Pros

Suitable work environmental for people with high EQ who can manuever through office politics. Eligible to fly in First class even for domestic travel.

Cons

Upper management does not honor promises made and reneged on written contracts. Ever changing corporate priority with no consistent theme. One of the highest turnover rate in the PE industry. The firm experiences 50% turnover in a 3 year period at every staff level from secretary to senior partner. Low staff morale. Employees have no faith and respect for the upper managment.

Pros

Down to earth team, interesting work, good lifestyle, perks.

Cons

Some entry level work can be tedious. At higher levels you will travel a lot (pros/cons).

Pros

friendly work environment, interesting work, given a lot of autonomy.

Cons

Sometimes opaque communication lines, not much institutional support
