Hi everyone -- Can anyone give me insight to H.I.G. Capital (specifically their middle market fund in NYC). I am curious about how their associate program works (generalist, sector specific?) and work life balance, reputation, etc. Any insight would be appreciated.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, HIG Capital seems to have a mixed reputation. Some users have mentioned that the firm had a bit of a "scummy" reputation in the past, but it appears they've made efforts to improve in recent years.
One user who joined HIG as an Associate praised their recruiting process, describing it as meritocratic with fair steps such as a Round 1 Interview, Round 2 Modeling Test, etc. They also mentioned that unlike some other firms, HIG doesn't skip any steps in the process based on superficial data.
Another user, who has been in high finance for 15 years, spoke highly of HIG. They mentioned that anyone who can make it through HIG is a "G". They also praised HIG's carry program, even at the entry associate level.
However, it's important to note that these are individual opinions and experiences, and they may not reflect the overall culture or reputation of HIG Capital.
