Pros

The people...for the most part. The location. The perks....and this is mostly because of the people. If you're looking for a challenge and career growth, look elsewhere.

Cons

Mass confusion. Terrible product. Bad direction. No product marketing <-- this is key! Leadership is a massive gap. Half gutless, half egotists. The CTO's massive ego polarizes the organization. (How is that guy still there?) Over the past year, Gild completely lost its culture - one of the best things it had going for it. Gild once represented meritocracy. That is long gone. Gild's inability to steer the right course has led to 25+ layoffs in the past 9 months. It is a sinking ship. Run, and run quickly from this company.

Pros

Awesome place to intern after Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior year summer. You get a tremendous amount of exposure to private equity, real estate, and public investments. Tons of experience with excel, due diligence, and writing. Great experience

Cons

Little to no full time prospects for college interns.
