Internship recruiting at firms I've never heard of - reputation?

there are a number of firms recruiting at my school t hat i have never heard of or don't know much about and i was wondering what their reputation is. sorry im new to this industry/recruiting and thanks in advance for any time you spend reading/responding

thank you.

 

nothing comes up with wood creek on that search tool and i was also wondering where these places stack up relative to each other

im soryr i posted in two forums i went back because i posted in the wrong one and then deleted the first one

sorry if i offended you im new here

 

WOOD CREEK CAPITAL MANAGEMENT :: A Leader in Alternative Alternatives®

^^ has a nice ring to it.

"Ride your bike. Drink good beer." - Fat Tire Amber Ale
 

Sounds like Duke.

Never heard of Wood Creek, but the rest of the names there are pretty stellar.

Parthenon - top notch MC, under M/B/B but not by much DC Energy - major energy player Audax - one of the best MM PE shops, ex bain cap guys Bridgewater - Major HF Laz is Laz

In terms of ranking, they are all pretty different (MC, utility trading, PE, HF, etc...) so it really depends on what you want to do.

 

Lazard middle market is the old Goldsmith Agio Helms. It has a strong reputation in the middle market and I am sure since they have added the Lazard name, the firm has benefited.

Audax Management - is that for their pe or mezzanine fund? Either way would be a great internship

 

agreed.

if it were me and i was industry/work function agnostic id go with audax > DC energy > parthenon > Laz > bwater

haven't heard good things about bwater at the junior level..

 

I have a friend at DC Energy and he really likes it. They recruited FT at my school and offered 80k!

I would apply everywhere I can. Once you start to go through the rounds you definitely get up to speed on who is who. And at worst you'll just be practicing your interviewing skills.
