Employee Reviews


  • “We are generally flat as an organization, so there are no politics or games to play as a consultant to work your way up by taking part in activities that don't support our culture or values or involve working way too many hours.”
  • “The best aspects of my firm's quality of life are … the culture and welcomeness of the entire group (no matter the seniority) and the honest, open, and direct values.”
  • “We are extremely diverse across all dimensions, so the firm cultivates lots of great conversations from extremely different points of view. This crosses over sex, race, economic backgrounds, and professional backgrounds. It’s really humbling and adds a lot to the practice.”
  • “TPG provides a dynamic and supportive work environment where team collaboration and work-life balance are highly valued, making it a great place to cultivate both professional and personal well-being.”

Getting Hired Here


  • “TPG hosts three stages of interviews for consultants: The first call is an introduction with an equivalent position, the second call is with HR, and the last call is presenting back a response to a business case problem.”
  • “We call back and talk with every candidate if they don't proceed in our process. We put a lot of energy into making sure we provide as much feedback as we can and treat individuals who don't make it now into the firm with kindness. We end up sometimes cultivating relationships with these individuals when they go to other firms and, in some cases, hire them when we believe they're ready later on.”
  • “The ideal candidate matches the values: integrity, excellence, serving, and learning. The most important dimension of hiring is culture fit, as other skills can be taught. We look for strong communicators and team players who are willing to work to learn and work with a client, not just for them”
  • “The firm values clear communication, analytical prowess, and strategic thinking in its candidates. The ideal candidate is not only intellectually robust and capable of solving complex problems, but also demonstrates strong interpersonal skills, collaboration, and a commitment to the core values of integrity and excellence.”
