Pros

Free parking, free lunch, friendly teammates for the most part

Cons

You may be brought in at a relatively high salary, but you’ll need to account for minimum 60 hour weeks and likely zero raises even with . Your work hours will be expected to match those of the investment teams on both coasts (9-9 is standard in calm periods, few of which existed when I left). They will continue to hire team members in NYC for double your salary who often work half the hours. HR preaches diversity while only hiring minorities into coordinator or EA roles that have no growth opportunities. Management makes it very clear back office should be grateful to be allowed in their presence, the FW office is the ugly stepchild. The toxic culture is palpable, everyone has seemed more and more miserable over the last few years and the response has been additional layoffs. This is all in addition to the standard woes of PE that are alive and well at TPG; the “boys club” culture, rampant elitism, forget work life balance you will not have a life, etc. They seem to believe if they use Goldman as a direct funnel for new hires they won’t realize they’re being overworked and have managed to build an even worse working environment with worse work life balance.

Pros

Great salary. Great perks such as daily lunch stipend, reimbursed for commuting costs. Opportunities for lots of OT if wanted but without pressure.

Cons

While everyone was kind and professional, EA’s weren’t always made to feel like part of the team like I’ve seen at other firms. Yes, they’re valued and treated well, but weren’t included in team events other than during Christmas. Isn’t a Big deal, but if I had to name a con, that would be it. Really smart people, autonomous environment, and everyone works collaboratively. It was lovely working there.

Pros

Good benefits (although I understand that these are now being whittled away). Interesting work.

Cons

They sell you on culture but anyone who has been there a while will tell you that since they brought in half of Goldman Sachs to run the place the culture has tanked, unsurprisingly. You can’t trust the GS crowd and sadly they’re running the show. Founding Partner is interested in doing deals and has withdrawn from managing the firm, which is sad as he did care about the staff. Now management just care about their LTIPs and bonuses.
