Good deal flows and industry coverage
Cons
German offices are the center. Other international offices are more like satellites, which does not have the same level benefits, group events as German offices.

Dear colleague,
thank you very much for the good review, we are glad to hear that. We want to grow further as a company and will continue to strengthen our international offices.
In any case, we are very much looking forward to bringing all colleagues from all offices together again our company event in June.
Best regards,
Bettina
Tons of opportunity, Fast growth, Great Culture, awesome Coworkers.
The company recently opened the New York office, their first office in the United States. GP has a startup vibe with the backing and resources of a highly respected European Consulting firm.
Cons
Majority of the company is in Germany, can be a little difficult at times to take care of internals (401K, Expense reimbursement)
Great company events; tight-knit and fun among juniors (go on vacation together, hang out outside of work); smart and engaging employees; international atmosphere; compensation is good
Cons
Clear favoritism and extremely political in the more senior levels; incredibly misogynistic culture - pressure for women to act a certain way or be labeled uptight/stiff; awkward market positioning often leading to a lack of projects (too good for small projects, but too small for good projects); projects limited to a handful of industries and key clients
