Pros

EA's are great people to work with. Felt like family.

Cons

KKR suffers from what can best be labeled as a Cast system. Mgmt bends over backwards for the 'money makers' .. (Executives)... while dumping on the staff and assistants. Mgmt wants to give more work to assistants/staff but at the same time cut pay, cut benefits, and cut OT - however still holding assistants up to the same standard it once did when they supported them/encouraged OT. Unless you are a Director and up... they will only take, take, take. **If you want to advance your career here... its best to play the political game... as advancement is not AT ALL based on merit

Pros

Nice office, free lunch, still prestigious

Cons

The technology leadership since 2025 has failed to improve the relationship with operational and finance stakeholders, to state a coherent strategy for their division, or to show any sort of consistent policy beyond hiring their buddies from previous jobs. They don’t seem to understand how technology is evolving despite constantly hyping up AI. They have failed to fulfill their promises on improving the experience for business and support stakeholders. The merger with Global Atlantic has been catastrophic. Decision making appears based more on politics than competence. On benefits - changed health insurance providers twice in two years.
