Pros
When my colleagues in my last job found out I was moving to CVC Capital Partners they were like "Oh my God, no! They'll eat you alive!" I understand that CVC has a bit of a reputation in the market but I feel the rep is unjustified: sure, there is a culture of long hours and 24/7 availability but the people here are friendly, pleasant and (assuming they're not busy) approachable. The benefits package is excellent. The IT equipment here is really high quality and IT service desk give you a "white glove" service. Any problem - however minor - and there's usually someone at your desk within an hour to fix it if they can't do it remotely. The restaurant in the London office makes amazing food freely available though I wish they'd take the cheese board away because I'm getting fat.
Cons
There isn't really much in the way of internal communications, either from the business leaders or from the support teams such as compliance or IT. As a result, it's difficult to know what's happening within the company as a whole, particular as we're spread over such a wide geography. I don't feel like I know where the business is headed and it makes it harder to understand how my work contributes to the overall mission.
