    Best place to be in financial services

    Pros

    With Marc as CEO, the company is rapidly transforming and growing in smart ways. It is so refreshing to be operating from the strategic and not executing a series of random cost cutting measures. Looking forward to $1T AUM.

    Cons

    It is a fast moving organization where actions matter and you have to work (vs. talk about working)!

    Pros

    You get to work with the smart people and also free lunch and drinks.

    Cons

    The culture at the firm is very toxic and you have to be from either a certain cloth or have to act like them. There is no guidance or mentorship from managers and senior leadership. Either you are a rock star or shown the door

    Regret taking this role.

    Dec 28, 2022 - Associate in New York, NY

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Free catered breakfast and lunch

    Cons

    This is honestly the worst role I've ever taken on and I regret joining this company. Hostile management encourages and fosters an environment of gossip and favoritism. The culture is very much 24/7 so if you value any semblance of work life balance- this is not the place for you.

    Great place as a stepping stone

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    CEO is a visionary. If you are in accounting, this is one of the top private equity firms in the world that offers broad exposure to complex transactions and accounting issues you would not get to come across at a mid size or non-public company.

    Cons

    Firm culture is centralized around the front desk personnel (investment professionals) and not much focus / attention given to back office
