Kontras
- Pretty horrible work culture if you like work-life-balance. I felt like I had several months of residual fatigue after leaving the company. Many senior partners have health issues too (probably from overwork). They lie/gaslight people about how much work/overtime is actually necessary to meet expectations
- They churn through people in junior ranks pretty regularly. For analysts generally want Excel monkeys/workhorses that they wear out in about 2 years (which is how it works in finance). The CEO idolizes the culture at Goldman Sachs if that tells you anything.
- People would get hired and fired based on how much they were liked by upper management and a select inner circle. They love people who always say 'yes'. Drawing boundaries can make you a target in many ways. Coworkers were fired for giving honest but negative feedback to upper management.
- Upper management were deluded in how "innovative" the company work tools actually were (using Google Sheets doesn't make you high-tech).
- Really long work hours and a lot of unnecessary churn
- Very poor training / mentorship.
