KKR reviews

-Work life balance, but let's be real - this is always a problem in NYC finance - CTO and his cohorts are masters of word salads that throw out fun buzz words, and then don't actually do anything to action on it. - You'll hear the words AI, Palantir, and Datalake till your ears bleed about how incredible it is, until you look at what they've actually built with it, and it's a half baked product. Whenever you hear someone mention one of those words, ask them, what's actual usage on them, and you'll get an understanding of what the business actually feels about it and how disconnected tech leadership is. - Once saw one of his cohorts skip a meeting with business leaders asking for the technology teams help so she could watch the Vogue runway. But no one can speak to this inner circle, they are the untouchables.

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
