Pros

Four weeks vacation. Mostly, not all, good people here. Good entry into the Private Equity world for college graduates.

Cons

Promotion and salary freezes common, additional work assigned without additional resources. Expectations to work 80 hours a week. No training, left to figure things out on your own. Long hours, minimal pay, possible to have someone reporting to you with a higher salary. Management does not listen or care.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
