Pros

- great culture, especially in the sharky world of private equity funds. this place is mostly filled with very smart, nice people who will vouch for you - respect for work/life balance. Of course in crunch times you are expected to step up but that is private equity

Cons

- in the last years they have started becoming more of a bulge bracket and less of a growth equity fund, and lost their edge especially in the exciting technology / growth plays because of their minimum $100m equity check requirement (which is really more like $200-$300 now) - very difficult to get promoted from associate all the way up, but again that is true at most funds

Pros

I loved my team; they all wanted to help with my career and were genuinely nice people. Got to work on both the fund and corporate side reporting. For foodies, they pay for lunch twice in the office. For lazy bones, they have work from home twice a week!

Cons

No return offer for undergrads, need a master's. Limited opening for full-time.
