Pros

For better or for worse, GA is a meritocracy. If you raise your hand and volunteer for additional projects & opportunities, you will generally be given the chance to succeed...unless an attractive white man asked for the opportunity first

Cons

There is no work/life balance. The ability to take on additional responsibilities that would advance your career is solely dependent on your willingness to work 10+ hrs a day. 10 is expected and factored into headcount capacity models. The employees and managers in the offices outside the Northeast, which also happen to be predominantly female, are neither listened to nor trusted, and are often treated as children playing around by the "big boys" of Boston and NY.

We are committed to attracting, retaining and developing a diverse group of employees and provide opportunities for all and will continue to review our initiatives to ensure we are making progress.

Pros

good pay and benefits, GA employees prior to KKR buy out stick together
