Associate - Private Equity ­ Associate TPG Employee Review

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

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.

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

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 Founding Partner is interested in doing deals and has withdrawn from managing the firm, which is sad as he did care about the staff.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.
