Pros

Very large and established PE Firm. Lots of opportunity for growth and development for the right person.

Cons

Office politics are high and the Admin Staff is rated second class over even Associates and get overworked tremendously. Pity. Assistants are the glue that holds it all together. Much work needs to be done to the reception desk crew. They need to really step it up with Directors of First Impressions.

Pros

Access - bankers, sales guys, industry folks, etc. will pick up the phone when you call. Internal investment-related resources are good including colleagues/ network.

Cons

Pay is bare minimum for lower/ mid-level positions. Little potential for upward advancement, and only a slight interest in making people better at their jobs. The organization is very built out, including at junior levels (Apollo now hires directly from undergrad).

Pros

You can learn a lot about the business. You can earn decent money but you have to put the time in.

Cons

No work/life balance, standard for PE firm. Communication is the key but everyone has so much work to produce no one has anytime to actually communicate.
