PE Analyst in growing firm

Just wondering what the pros and cons are of joining a growing PE Analyst that's rapidly growing. I feel like getting the early start can/should help down the line in terms of politics and getting the investor mindset of the seniors of the firm. On the other hand, it seems quite clear that BB/EB IB better prepares you training-wise. What are your thoughts on joining a buy-side shop that's rapidly growing and your interest in the strategy vs. doing 2 years of BB/EB IB?

How new is the firm? What's their AUM? Strategy? Are there people there who came in as analysts before? These are all good questions that could help people on here to assist you.
