Pros
The benefits package is good and having GIP on your resume may look attractive to future PE employers because they have had some very successful funds
Cons
- Horrible environment with a very high employee turnover in all groups -In general people feel overworked and burned out - Lack of leadership and development. All management cares about is their pockets - Not very diverse in terms of minorities and women, most notoriously in the management team. Although they have hired a few more women in recent years, most women complain about how hard it is to work at GIP - It's full of cliques, like a high school, full of people who smile in your face and talk about you behind your back, including your manager - Promotion and compensation does not seem to be merit based. If the people at the top like you, you may be happy with your compensation - If someone doesn't like you, they will find an excuse to fire you, even if you get your work done - When someone quits, after they have already left the firm, some people in these cliques make up lies about them, including that they did not quit but were fired instead. This makes no sense, what is the purpose of doing this?
