TCW - anyone have insight?
TCW obviously has a pretty storied rep given both DoubleLine and Oaktree came out of there. Looks like they have been staffing up aggressively, including picking off a couple people from brigade for an asset backed team.
Any views on current firm?
Any views on how they comp in either privates or public?
How are they viewed in market? Smart investors, good training?
I’ve heard pretty negative things from folks on the team (including a few recent joiners). Tough culture, tough process, and tough mandate / deal focus. Defer to others who may know more, but I get the sense that not many are happy with their seats.
Are you willing to elaborate?
How is turnover there? Is this for just their private credit group or includes their public group too?
As in sharp elbows and long hours? Or is the culture just a biproduct of their strategy?
Bump
I know people that work there. Good shop, smart people. Wouldn't be a bad place to be
All in reference to direct lending, as those are the only guys I know there.
These guys were one of the original direct lending shops in the space (TCW acquired the Regiment Capital DL guys to make TCW direct lending). They are known as the real deal and one of the founding groups of the asset class. Strong brand name. My guess is somewhat reasonable hours based on the guys I've worked with, but always tough to know. Comp should be in line with street. I heard some complaints from people I've worked with from there around it being somewhat difficult to move up given the top heaviness of firms like these (Cerberus comes to mind as well, with a ton of SMDs and MDs) with people never leaving
Do you have any more detail around comp? Saw they posted a few jobs recently and seemed below market (~$100k for associate).
Has anyone interviewed / received an offer for the private credit jobs posted?
Pm?
Don't think anonymous PM is possible
Interested as well - I haven't heard back
Did you interview?
Terrible recruitment process. My colleague just got an offer and they were apparently as committal as a tinder swipe in their interview process. Zero transparency and just egging people on. That said comp is top notch. VP-level with $3M DAW over 4yrs. That said, they get their money’s worth…
Any idea what VP level base and bonus is?
