I’m in my first week at a PE backed company (~$200M annual revenue) as a finance manager. The culture seems great and there is WLB (largely 45-50 hours a week), but it’s definitely different than what I’m used to at my prior F500 of 5 years.

I had pressure cooker environments in my F500, but wondering what will it really be like in a PE backed company where the finance org has a lean (but growing) team, less than stellar systems, and tons of juggling priorities

What have been some of biggest transition challenges going from a F500 to a PE backed company?

Don’t want to leave anytime soon and made the choice to come to this environment for more ownership, scope, $$$ and an early promo to director that likely comes with equity
