    Great company! But some get burned (out)

    Dec 18, 2022 - Associate in New York, NY
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great mission and thematic investment approach. Seriously smart sector leadership. Upper management care a lot about its reputation! Often gives middle managers headaches and difficult expectations to manage. + Salary (great benefits and bonuses) + PE, BXG and RE business + Opportunity to advance

    Cons

    Typical PE hierarchical structure, best performing BUs get the most attention. Moving up requires the constant management and massaging of egos, in order to get noticed. Drive for attention, occupies a lot of time. - Life work balance - Back biting middle management and simmering feelings leads to poor reviews - DEI initiatives well intentioned, but mostly lip service

    Pros

    People are usually on call, and very responsive, and supportive. Work is very fast paced and exciting. However, the pace is not for everyone. The people are what makes the work enjoyable.

    Cons

    Demanding. Always on call and are expected to be responsive.

    Pros

    Very nice place to work, people there are very nice as well. Very big account doing very well over all.

    Cons

    Only thing, i could say is that they have no limits on events and meeting services, as for scheduling. To many last minute requests. Also they have only one locker room for both sexes and no place for the catering team and pantry team to take a break or lunch.

    Good people but really bad infrastructure that needs improving

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Excellent ppl. Culture is great.

    Cons

    It's not a tech company so it would be less optimal for junior engineers to learn good coding habits and standards. People here value engineers less than financial analysts for sure.
