FT Partners Stories/Experiences/Nightmares/PTSD - Please Share!!!

Given all the recent talk on this forum latetly about the world's most prestigious elite boutique FT Partners (Sarcasm), I figured there should be a single forum for all its current/former employees, interns, and interview candidates to share their stories about there interactions at the place. From all the scouring i've done on the IB forum searching for "FTP" or "FT Partners", I have never seen so many negative stories and experiences about a single place than ft partners gets from its former/current employees, same goes for the SA horror stories, which kinda tells you how bad the culture is there from a ton of different viewpoints. Please share any Stories/Experiences/Nightmares/PTSD you've experienced from your time at FTP or your interactions with the firm.

FYI, This post isn't meant to be another roast on FTP, because for all anyone knows there culture could've radically improved over the past couple months (even though i am skepticle of such a thing happening, especially since we're talking about investment banking)
