We actually just worked on a deal with Bayside Capital, their distressed debt group.
Their guys seem to be pretty chill and all come from pretty high pedigree. I can't speak too much about their deal flow but I'm sure its alive and well. I believe they have 140ish professionals with $7.5B AUM.
Deal flow is pretty strong and HIG's funds have done really well historically, i.e. top quintile. Their teams do come from a pretty high pedigree and the analysts say it's a pretty laid-back place on their level (the analysts are pretty close to one another, probably because most of them moved down to Miami without knowing too many people there and the South Beach scene plays itself out pretty quickly)...but on a more senior level, the place has a more cutthroat reputation. I really recommend you meet with them in person (assuming you have the opportunity) before forming an opinion though, especially on their culture
appreciate the input
Good trackrecord, above market carry command, strong firm.
Man, that Flight Options buyout isn't working out too well for them, is it?
Great track record, think top ~1-2% of private equity returns over the past few years. Very focused on the lower middle market and more aggressive on price than leverage. Just closed on second distressed debt fund, Bayside II, with $3B. Also, in terms of pedigree, everyone has a top degree with a very large Harvard contingent.
i was at HIG Capital 4 yrs ago and was there for a few yrs. if you want to work there, there are a few things you should know. i'd prefer t
Your comment got cut off, I'm interested in what you have to say about your experience at HIG
While I have no idea what it is like to work there, I can tell you what it is like to work with HIG as a client:
One of my fellow analysts worked on a transaction with them and said that every friday night they would email him directly asking him to do some "task" for them. Basically, they outsourced their personal research to this poor guy who spent his weekends doing stuff he shouldn't have been doing. Completely wrecked half of his first year.
that sounds strange. wouldn't it be easily obvious that it's happening?
Does anyone have a recent update on HIG Capital on what it's like to work there? I checked them out on google and found a recent lawsuit in place.

H.I.G. Capital superday (Originally Posted: 07/13/2012)
Have a superday coming up with H.I.G. in their Miami office. Does anyone have any interview tips? The phone interview involved a bunch of mini case studies. Are there any resources for seeing more examples of these? Thanks in advance.
would check our Company Database
Hey dollabillz, get the job?!
Nope, and I got laid off from my banking gig. :-)
Hey dollabilz, could you share a little more about the phone interview, like what were case studies about. Were most of them back of the envelop LBO cases? Also how long did it take to setup the phone interview?
seriously? a little tact
Phone Interview with H.I.G. Capital - Miami Tomorrow - Any Advice? (Originally Posted: 08/25/2010)
I have a phone interview with H.I.G. Capital - Miami tomorrow and would like for anyone's advice who either works for the firm or has interviewed with the firm.
I have a 1 year MM investment banking background and 1 year distressed debt fund background - both analyst roles and from small shops.
I applied straight through an HR contact via LinkedIn, and a lower level HR recruiter contacted me for the interview.
I was looking for an Analyst function, but not specifically in PE, HF, or DD - but based on my resume, I am guessing it will be with Bayside Capital, their DD arm, versus PE.
Any advice? Idea of things I will be asked? How to answer? Culture? Comp?
Thanks.
How'd your interview go?
Hmm...a friend of mine interiewed there a couple of weeks ago, and they told him they filled the spot already, although it could have been for a slightly different role.
Interviewer was a super nice lady - it was for a back office Analyst position supporting associates at Bayside Capital.
Unfortunately, she gets on the phone and says, "I still wanted to keep our interview schedualed because I wanted to learn about your background - but I found out this morning that they filled the position."
WTF!!! I was like "Bummer! - Seriously!" As odd as it may seem, this made me extremely comfortable the rest of the interview and I think it went OK. It was just me talking and she didn't ask any questions. She said she would definitely keep me in mind for future roles (for whats thats worth - $0). We will see I guess. She said they were having a problem filling the role and thats why it came to her, which surprised me. She is a recruiter there.
Bummed out big time - glad I have a job right now at a distressed debt fund or I would be extremely depressed. So close...........
@sofib09 - tell me about your friend
bummer. thanks for the update. good luck
He's in banking now, with experience in debt capital raises, but he doesn't have distressed debt experience. I think they may have been looking for that.
Was it really BO? For some reason, I was under the impression it was FO.
def BO said it several times
whats the big dif?
id be find with starting there just to get in the joint
Ah, OK...I'll definitely chat with him about it.
Any advice on breaking in? I'm at a PE shop where the CEO is ex-HIG.
ask him
