Pros

- salaries are competitive at least in my department - some of the people working there are absolutely top-shelf talent - respectable financial org in an industry filled with nasty

Cons

- work hours are brutal - lack of positive reinforcement beyond bonus kills morale - some among leadership clearly not cut out for job also kills morale

Pros

Smart people and opportunity to move around the portfolio companies and new projects if you raise your hand. Beautiful office space,

Cons

Demanding environment with very high expectations (can be unrealistic).
