Pros
Strong benefits, PTO, pay, and tech. Smart, hardworking employees. Blackstone ecosystem is helpful for networking.
Cons
Frequent reorgs, turnover, and quiet layoffs. Leadership seems to operate under its own set of rules. HR seems unprepared and inconsistent when dealing with serious issues. Feedback is collected but rarely acted on. Employees are expected to be in office 4 days/week and "work from anywhere" month was eliminated, but some execs continue to work wherever they want. Office-based and remote teams feel like different worlds with different expectations around responsiveness and communication. Advancement feels more driven by politics and cliques than performance. DEI has become hollow and performative and leadership lacks meaningful diversity. Leadership is reluctant to directly address morale and trust issues and often seems to protect their own.
