Pros

Large established firm with active deal flow. Good experience with founder vision.

Cons

Growing bureaucracy and lacking entrepreneurship as firm grows. Focus is now more on AUM gathering. Culture also diffused with hiring of external employees from other PE shops

Pros

Free food. The list of positives ends there.

Absolute dumpster fire. No direction, no organization, and no clear path forward. It was an incredibly frustrating experience from the start
