Pros
Experience, thats it- the cons far outweigh the pros unfortunately Everyone who says its a good starting place is right AS LONG AS you have a decent manager, if you dont youre screwed
Cons
Culture is nonexistent or cliques- LOTS of gossiping and favortism; they still talk about culture as being a thing but it isn’t Little to no pay increases or bonuses- bonus for 2024 was laughable across the firm for anyone who wasnt senior leadership Extremely toxic executive leadership, almost everyone is friends or got hired by friends- might change with new CEO but unlikely since these people have been there for 20ish years Not a thriving environment for minorities or women, despite what they may say No leadership training or focus on good management practices- ppl promoted due to favoritism often HR is untrustworthy and will stab you in the back; barely even is an HR dept honestly, there is no process for submitting harrassment or abuse claims and they are friends/close to the leadership so doesn’t matter anyways Lots of division changes and policy shifts- the vibe is chaotic at all times, nothing ever feels stable ever PE owned so really at the mercy of whoever is owning the company Growth opps are waved in your face as potential but not real most of the time
