Pros
• Compensation can be better than average. • Happy hours. • Free lunch and free parking. • Your LinkedIn inbox will be filled with messages from recruiters once TPG is on your resume.
Cons
Where do I begin? • The highest promotion you will receive in the Fort Worth office is Managing Director. Do not expect to work 10+ years and become Firm Partner because one day you will come into the office and find out they’ve hired an external Firm Partner instead of promoting within. • Sucking up to leadership in the Fort Worth office will get you promoted faster than being great at your job. • Are you a sub-par performer at work? If so, you will always have a job at TPG because they will never cut dead-weight. • Never speak your mind or strive for change. You will be blackballed. • Senior leadership in San Francisco does not care about anyone the Fort Worth office. They expect us to be obedient to their unrealistic expectations. • Hard-work is reworded with more work. Politicking is reworded with promotions.
