Pros
Modern work environment Opportunity to work with senior management directly
Cons
I worked in the Private Equity Group in New York. From my experience I noticed that although the group overall managed $4 billion the New York team has failed to do a major deal in the last 3+ years. In fact most of the major deals seem to happen outside of New York. This is largely because the New York team is led by ineffective leaders at the VP to MP level, which lack sourcing and execution experience. Additionally, the VP level employees typically run the deals and are generally younger employees in their late-twenties, who treat the juniors like they are analysts in banking. Expect long hours, weekend work (reporting in at 9AM on some days) and limited recognition. To top it all of Brookfield pays ~30% below market. If you are looking to get real deal experience I would recommend looking elsewhere. Limited ability to move within the organization as well.
