Pros

EA's are great people to work with. Felt like family.

Cons

KKR suffers from what can best be labeled as a Cast system. Mgmt bends over backwards for the 'money makers' .. (Executives)... while dumping on the staff and assistants. Mgmt wants to give more work to assistants/staff but at the same time cut pay, cut benefits, and cut OT - however still holding assistants up to the same standard it once did when they supported them/encouraged OT. Unless you are a Director and up... they will only take, take, take. **If you want to advance your career here... its best to play the political game... as advancement is not AT ALL based on merit

Pros

Free food. The list of positives ends there.

Cons

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