Vantaggi
A good foot in the door for individuals with 1 year of experience or less. Almost all job duties are self-managed and there are opportunities to grow and develop one's own projects. A great introduction to the variety of industries and business fields. Wind Point is very supportive of EA transitions/job hunts, and Managing Directors at the firm are very well connected. These resources can be leveraged for greater opportunities after one is done with Wind Point.
Svantaggi
Growth potential is determined/limited by friendships and raises/bonuses are nominal also because the position is seen as transient. It is not uncommon for the senior EA to have worked at Wind Point for under 1 year and so training is not standardized and sometimes not well-executed. The initial compensation offer for all EAs is non-negotiable. Promotions are very uncommon though not unheard of.
