The Carlyle Group reviews

Back Office lacks maturity and is broken - people chase bonus not business objectives IT is a low performing, top heavy powerpoint mill Non-private equity, non-DC business units are isolated and ignored Not a fail fast organization - willingness to continue with bad businessess, projects and employess even in the face of overwhelming evidence Passive aggressive, gossipy, non-confrontational culture Poor leadership in back office functions - Acct, HR, IT are full of overpaid, low contribution employees Unneccessarily complex organization with high cost structure Superficial - looking the part is as important as playing the part

No real team value, especially in IT. No help, leadership, or guidance from management. Lots of empty promises on career development. Debit IT management seems to jump from one project to another without finishing anything. Managers also have favorites, based more so on "yes man" than skill. In less than 3 years I've had 3 managers, and no additional training for career development.
