Work life balance in client facing roles - a regular expectation to be responsive late into the evening as the norm.
Micromanagement
Some nasty policies and ruthlessness in European Private Equity:
- If you would like to go on holiday during Feb and March for more than two consecutive working days with friends/family/your partner, this is not the company for you.
- If you are looking for job security as a new grad in London having signed a new rental lease with a 12 month minimum contract, this is not the company for you - you will be let go if you miss your (challenging) target in all of months 1-3.
- If you want to be treated as more than a revenue number on a screen, this is not the company for you.
- If you want to work at a company where your general wellbeing and mental health is respected over hitting revenue targets, this is not the company for you.
