Pros

The people who work at Malk are the one pro of this job - genuinely passionate, interesting people

Cons

Malk has had a horrible shift in management and company culture, resulting in a company that is poorly run with an odd mix of managers who are either entirely profit-driven or struggling so hard to maintain an air of authority that they are incompetent. What was once a mission driven company full with people who were incredibly passionate about the environment and their career has turned into a horribly perpetuated grind culture that results in people being forced to take mental health days to cope with the overload of tasks or finally cave into leaving the company for a better paying job with better work-life balance. I personally had very bad experiences with management across the organization in regards to management style, appropriate communication, and transparency. Personally, I don't believe the Company is heading in a good direction and there's tons of grumbling throughout the employee base in regards to compensation, management, work-life balance, and satisfaction at work. Would not recommend, even as a first job.

Pros

wonderful people, strong growth in ESG knowledge/skills, introduction to PE industry, decent promotion timeline.

Cons

Overall decline in all areas of the business. Malk underwent an acquisition over a year ago, and since then, several senior members have been fired, and the ones left have little empathy for the mid and junior team. When acquired we were told we would not be "worse off" but since we have lost PTO days, reduced communication and transparency, bonuses that were expected to be paid in January are now going to be paid in may/june "maybe". All new hires are on worse compensation/PTO frameworks.
