My internship at Tyree & D’Angelo Partners (TDP) has proven to be an incredibly rewarding experience. As a growing private equity firm, TDP boasts a close-knit team, comprising around 5 first or second-year Analysts, 4 Principals, and 2 Partners. Their recent relocation to a stunning office space, offering panoramic views of Michigan Avenue and Lake Michigan, speaks volumes about their growth and success.
One of the most striking aspects of Tyree & D’Angelo Partners is their exceptionally open and welcoming work culture. The firm fosters an environment where communication is prioritized; office doors remain open, and every team member, from analysts to partners, encourages interns to seek advice and ask questions freely. This commitment to open communication immediately put me at ease, and I felt integrated into the team from day one. The people at Tyree & D’Angelo Partners genuinely prioritize creating a comfortable and inclusive atmosphere.
Further enhancing team cohesion, we share lunch together daily in one of the conference rooms. This daily ritual provides a welcome respite from our desks and facilitates company integration. It’s a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues, learn about the diverse projects underway, and build relationships beyond immediate project teams.
From the outset of my internship at Tyree & D’Angelo Partners, I was entrusted with a significant, ongoing project, collaborating closely with an MBA intern. This project-based approach allows for deep engagement and a comprehensive understanding of the work, a far more enriching experience than fleeting, isolated tasks. The structure provides the autonomy to manage my workload effectively, allowing me to organize my time and approach the project with a sense of ownership. Moreover, the opportunity to collaborate with an MBA intern, who brings prior professional experience, has been invaluable. Their mentorship and guidance have provided practical insights and enriched my learning throughout this Tyree & D’Angelo Partners internship.
In conclusion, my experience at Tyree & D’Angelo Partners has been overwhelmingly positive. The firm’s commitment to fostering a supportive and engaging environment, coupled with meaningful project work and mentorship opportunities, makes TDP an exceptional place to intern. I wholeheartedly encourage future CFS interns to consider applying to Tyree & D’Angelo Partners for a similarly enriching and career-enhancing experience in the private equity sector.
