Pros
Strong corporate culture, company growth and a good, well-structured training programme for juniors. Good level of staffing in head office with decent exposure to senior professionals. High quality mid-level managers at the VP to Principal level. Well known with a great industry reputation acting as a fantastic springboard into the PE industry. Decent work life balance after a few years of grinding.
Cons
Confusing senior management structure with lots of internal restructuring for no clear reason. Very uncompetitive compensation and bonuses lead to high junior turnover, where departing professionals can expect to double total comp with a negligible impact on workload or balance. Management are aware of this and have been slow to make changes. Benefits are poor and set centrally by an utterly incompetent HR department. Large wealth divide between pre and post-ipo shareholders. Head office in the middle of nowhere and a very US-centric attitude for a global company.
