Pros
Good deal flow for investment professionals Interesting consulting-oriented projects for operations professionals Very strong returns in older funds Nice offices The culture is a good fit for some people, and there is a small group of very long-term employees Does not operate like a traditional growth investing firm
Kontras
Does not operate like a traditional growth investing firm The Valor experience can be hit or miss depending on which partner you get aligned with and whether the CEO likes you Culture Fire at will mentality Decision-making process Compensation Work-life balance relative to peers Management Lack of career progression and mentorship High turnover for last decade Lack of autonomy Critical understaffing in key functions is a permanent feature of the firm, not a temporary bug Travel Select current employees asked to post 5-star Glassdoor reviews by management
