Vantaggi
Partners Group is a great place for a long-term career in private markets. The firm provides a lot of exposure (internal and external) for young professionals. Partners Group is a unique global platform in an industry that will face consolidation, ultimately allowing it to gain market share. As an employee with 10+ years at Partners Group, I have personally seen how the company takes care of its people as personal challenges come up and work-life changes are needed. The company continues to grow quickly and there are a ton of opportunities for people to grow, as well as find new challenges without having to leave the company. The company continues to get increasingly global and decision-making less centralized in Switzerland. There is a lot of emphasis to add and grow young people.
Svantaggi
Main challenges are to successfully absorb the company's growth by training and retaining talent, and maintaining its unique global culture, while also appreciating each office's own culture. Work-life can be busy but still not as crazy as other PE firms.
