Pros
You sound impressive when you tell people you work at Carlyle. If this is your only reason for working at a company, you will fit right in there.
Cons
No collaboration. Co-workers will sabotage other co-workers work product to get ahead; seen this happen on many occasions. Senior management will make fun of subordinates in public settings on their background or if they don't get promoted. Will be reprimanded for socializing with other co-workers even after work hours. No WLB. You are reprimanded if you do not work at least 6 hours a day on PTO and holidays. Will be reprimanded to work full days if you attempt to take a sick day off. Compensation is strong (for DC), but below market compared to direct competitors. Benefits are poor.
