Pros

It might be a good temporary stepping stone in your career if culture is not important to you.

Cons

I didn't want to leave this review, but I think it's important to be honest and I wish someone had left one like this before I joined the firm. So here we go. - The firm is a cultural nightmare. They lie to candidates in the interview process to get them to accept roles because they are desperate. - Once you join, all decisions are made on politics alone. There are really talented people that don't get promoted when they should because of it and employees that are pushed out of the firm because Partners don't get along with them. - This place is full of unprofessional behavior. If I gave examples you wouldn't believe it. It's not a professional services environment to be proud of. - Long hours and under market pay. - Several people quit without notice because they don't care about burning a bridge. That is how bad the culture is here. - Made tons of cuts during the pandemic. This includes layoffs, pay freezes, and cuts. Meanwhile, they expected everyone to work harder and never rewarded them for it. - Many mergers make up the firm, especially the Central Region. The leaders were kept as part of the acquisition deal. They are stuck in the past and are very resistant to change. Even when it is for the better. It is a cultural melting pot and is not consistent between regions and offices. - High turnover and they have issues back filling due to the culture and reputation of the firm.

Pros

About the only pros I see from this company was remote work and benefits. You did have some good employees.

Cons

The organization struggles with significant management and cultural issues despite stated diversity commitments. While diversity initiatives exist, they have inadvertently created siloed groups that prioritize in-group interests over collaborative team culture. Reports to HR and anonymous reporting channels regarding discrimination and workplace concerns often went unaddressed, undermining trust in leadership. Substantial disparities exist in how different teams are treated. International team members, particularly those in India, face excessive workload expectations—regularly working 12+ hour days, extending until midnight or 1 AM US time. This creates an unsustainable and inequitable work environment. Leadership has not been transparent about offshoring strategies. While the company denied plans to move work overseas, Indian team members received extensive training while US-based employees did not, suggesting contradictory long-term planning. Recent layoffs have raised questions about decision-making criteria, with highly skilled contributors, and just good people over all being let go while some underperformers and rude, bad leaders were retained, potentially due to favoritism within management cliques. The company's stated values around diversity and inclusion are not reflected in day-to-day operations or management decisions. Significant improvement is needed in leadership accountability, equitable treatment across all locations, and transparent communication about business strategy.
