Pros

Unparalleled opportunity for the junior team to own the entire deal process. Respect is earned, but if you put in the work people are very invested in your success and progression, with ample opportunity for a full-career track from analyst to MD (almost all promotes / hires are from within). It is a very fast-paced work environment, which often means you get to look at a ton of new opportunities + gain significant exposure and experience in a relatively quick period of time. Great opportunity for junior team to learn by doing. Very collegial culture, flexible WFH schedule, opportunity to work with a lot of really smart and engaging people

Cons

Hours fluctuate but can be relatively long at times (not unlike any other PE firm), however the firm does put in a lot of effort to mitigate prolonged periods of long work hours.

Pros

nothing special. typical PE perks: occasional fancy dinners, catered lunches, expense stuff, good health plan, etc.

Cons

culture is pretty toxic - management pretends things are great and sugarcoats everything, junior employees have low morale - salary not competitive at all. terrible 401k match. taboo to talk about coinvest. no salary transparency or progression path - terrible culture of being available/visible. i've spent entire days with no work, sitting in the office just waiting to go home - very top heavy. tons of MDs and too many opinions. managment can't change because they can't decide on anything. - hours aren't bad but toxic culture makes you stay late. sometimes i save work for later so i have a reason to stay late and look busy - very much a gossip culture. lots of talking about people behind their backs - constant probing for upward feedback from management but nothing ever changes - management appeases junior employees with occasional dinners and parties, gets old after the first three. Partners don't show up at events, and MDs leave as fast as possible - catered lunches sound nice but are unhealthy slop, office snacks are all unhealthy. it's like a 7th grader is ordering the food - office has little color and bright hospital lighting. drives you crazy after a few hours
