Pros
- the people that work here care about each other - cool to interact face to face with the decision makers at private equity firms - not much weekend work (1-3 hours each weekend) - talking to executives and having a client facing role keeps things interesting - more flexibility than working in private equity (but the comp is a fraction of the comp)
Cons
- small & young team causes fair amount of gossip - basically an expert network that finds higher tier executives - monotonous work that is not automated - the better you are, the more work you get - lot of churn (handful of people leaving each year) and management doesn't plan ahead so we're always understaffed - expect 60-70 hour weeks - constantly being asked to do more so it's hard to feel motivated to stay. it feels like most people here are unhappy
