Pros

Great pay, decent people, reasonable time-off policies. IT and office facilities teams are very easy to work with, which is important for admins since we're always shifting rooms, ordering catering, and assisting the higher ups and their guests in setting up equipment. This company also knows how to throw a party.

Cons

No opportunity for growth from an admin role. If you start at this company as an admin, you will always be an admin. They are very old school in regards to "secretaries", not incorporating technology, and any change in general. Also be prepared for everyone in your life to have to file compliance paperwork since you may come across big deals daily.

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 Founding Partner is interested in doing deals and has withdrawn from managing the firm, which is sad as he did care about the staff.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