Hamilton Lane reviews

I want to clarify the "Best Place to Work" award from Pension & Investment is for finance firm with 100-499 employees, and Hamilton Lane is mentioned on the list, but not #1-5, it is deceptive, and the culture does not match up to what they claim. The company does well, but management's focus has been on cutting cost ever since the company went public. They are so focused on keeping the share price high that they are willing to sacrifice employee's wellbeing. There is a opaque pay and promotion structure, your manager can sympathize with your low comp but there's nothing he/she could do about it. A good portion of the front office looks back office like they are second class citizens. The culture is jammed down our throats because the image of being a big happy family is what helps the firm get new business, but in does not come in practice in reality. If you get hired here, your job will likely change continuously, you never know what's getting thrown your way or what change management has decided. A lot of the teams never seem to get up to speed, it becomes a continuous cycle of training people, telling them what they did wrong, and cleaning up after them. Work-life balance is preached here, but again, what's preached is not what's practiced.

many people are overworked and underpaid and management refuses to hire at lower levels.
