Pros
Great for favorites of the private equity owner. Take this one San Francisco exec and her friends, for example, and their perks: 1) Free downtown SF parking 2) Biggest salaries, fattest bonuses and raises, double dipping from employee pool AND from secret management pools 3) Free to come late at 12pm and be out by 4pm 4) 3-4 day weekends all the time as they "worked from home" on every Mon and Fri 5) Private closed door offices and entire conf rooms with the best views reserved for themselves
Cons
Unless you are them and their minions who get the crumbs, Finastra will be a totally different company for you. Compensation, promotions, and whether you get laid-off will have nothing to do with your performance. NOTHING. The execs are evaluated by Vista based on the how many offices they close and how many jobs they move overseas.The #1,2,3 goals are to get someone to buy our phony story, take their money, and run ASAP. They could care less about the long-term damage.
