      Super high turnover - stay away

      Director

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Money, and that's pretty much it! And that is only if you have negotiated well before your epmloyment.

      Cons

      Hostile environment to its fullest. Eat your young philosophy. No collaboration or cooperation between any teams. The management is either not aware or could not care less due to the senior team's multi-million dollar compensations and the rest of the staff should endure the environment. They praise themselves for being the best at complexity, may be so but heavily at the expense of their employers. Incredible attrition rate in all departments, all levels, yet the senior management thinks this is the way in a PE shop! It is NOT. They should learn how employee retention is done from Blackstone.

      RUN AWAY

      Associate, insurance solutions group
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - They pay over market average for junior employees since the turnover rate is so high (they can't retain top talent because nobody wants to work under such a toxic environment). Although you are paid slightly above market (+15K) the company is at such an early stage of its life where there are no real processes in place and you spend more time doing manual excel / sql work than learning the business (like for example our reporting is all done through excel files and everyone does their own thing and finds data from wherever they want). 90% of "Front Office" jobs are dead end. - Theres free lunch - You get an iphone since you'll be on call 24/7

      Cons

      - Horrible work/life balance - Management is extremely disrespectful / rude to its employees. - Get ready to get cursed out on calls on a weekly basis -Insurance solutions group was originally a D- tier asset manager which just so happened to get acquired by Apollo. They never invested in building out their technical systems / hiring software engineers and they are constantly haunted by data quality issues in databases. We literally lost a client because they said we had mickey mouse analytics. We have our CIO doing data quality checks because nobody else wants to do it. - Not a collaborative culture and many employees throw each other under the bus all the time. No sharing of information to gain a competitive edge. This is probably the worst part about working here. -

      Not for the faint of heart

      Finance function
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Higher Pay than industry average for comparable positions - Company has good reputation and brand name - Steep learning curve affords one with a tremendous learning experience

      Cons

      - Terrible work life balance. Employees expected to be on call around the clock and over the weekend. - Unrealistic expectations from senior management. Too often we have way too limited time to deal with the required asks - Type A Personalities throughout the firm in all departments and at all levels. Need extra thick skin to survive here
