Great experience if you fit the upper class profile like myself as a Cal grad - Director iStar Employee Review

Pros

Promotions are great for articulate, sharp, WASP males in this company. WASP have inherent advantages in client facing roles, and access to top management. Access means they personally get to know you and invite you into their "private life". This benefit is not accrued to those who do not fit this profile. Senior management protects top talent.

Cons

None for WASP males from pedigree schools such as the ivy league. Others who came with the Fremont acquisition that do not have the academic pedigree were likely shown the door.
