good - Senior Research Associate Kingfish Group Employee Review

Love working at Kingfish mostly because of the people. Everyone is incredibly smart, friendly, and helpful. Team always gets creative as to how to approach and solve new problems and add value to our team and our partners. I've never had managers / teammates be so invested in my personal growth as well as the company's. It's also great to be able to learn about so many new industries on the daily and learn from folks that are so tenured and successful in their careers.

Not a lot of cons here, perhaps the one thing is not getting to work with many colleagues in person, but we do see everyone at least once a year and have office spaces for folks in the city.

- the people that work here care about each other - cool to interact face to face with the decision makers at private equity firms - not much weekend work (1-3 hours each weekend) - talking to executives and having a client facing role keeps things interesting - more flexibility than working in private equity (but the comp is a fraction of the comp)

- small & young team causes fair amount of gossip - basically an expert network that finds higher tier executives - monotonous work that is not automated - the better you are, the more work you get - lot of churn (handful of people leaving each year) and management doesn't plan ahead so we're always understaffed - expect 60-70 hour weeks - constantly being asked to do more so it's hard to feel motivated to stay. it feels like most people here are unhappy
