Highly disorganized and quickly losing it's culture

Pros

You do work with some really great people and they are very passionate about what they do. You also work with great companies within the portfolio. The CEOs are great.

Cons

It's completely disorganized with little focus other than short term. There is an organizational realignment that occurs once a year. The COO is ruining the culture.
