Pros
A few of the higher ups are genuinely nice people. The salary was highly competitive. Benefits kick in on day one.
Cons
The reality of the culture and environment at Patriarch Partners makes the press that they and Tilton receive seem like a tame understatement. Whole company operates like a vanity project for the CEO who treats her employees in an abusive and unprofessional fashion. This in turn creates bad morale, insecurity and instability among the staff. Coarse, offensive, sexist language is regularly used, as is language of an overt sexual nature which doesn't seem to be frowned upon as long as it's directed downward from the top. Tilton seems to derive her own energy from squeezing the life out of her talent, expecting them to regularly work 12-15 hour days and be on-call via email and cell 24 hours a day/seven days a week. Weekends and off hours are not respected. The same applies to holidays. Benefits could be much better for such a small firm managing billions of dollars. Sadly, I could keep going but I'll conclude by saying that Patriarch Partners is simply one woman run amok and drunk with power and only those who serve her obediently and without question (and eventually without a spine)...or else.
