Hours can be long at times but that is consistent with most M&A-facing roles. EGI helps its employees prioritize workload if it becomes unmanageable. There is a high level of autonomy required of the roles. While the self-starter / entrepreneurial atmosphere will be attractive for some, I could understand this dynamic being conflicting to certain individuals who are accustomed to tasks being delivered to their desk. I wouldn't describe EGI as a "face-time" culture, but there is an expectation for employees to be in the office most days during the week if they're not traveling, etc. Ultimately, I believe this provides for a more efficient work environment and EGI recently implemented a work from home bank to provide flexibility if needed.
