Kaufman Hall Reviews

• Little to no transparency about end of the year compensation at the junior levels (Associate, Sr. Associate and AVP) • Senior partners expect staff members to do all the work, often times with zero oversight, but then take all the reward (see $) • Old boys club culture – if you weren’t hired prior to 2013-2014 when the firm started growing, then good luck ever moving up or impressing senior management/partners • A handful of very rude, inconsiderate and downright miserable people frequently cause a toxic work environment • Toxic culture where employees are scared to ask questions for the fear of being called out / thrown under the boss…this does not yield an environment where people can learn, but rather fosters fear and resentment • Multiple engagement model can be very difficult to manage, with competing deadlines from several managers who do not communicate then end up competing for your time… the result is poor quality of work product and very long hours • Revolving door – the firm has not been able to retain any talent at the junior level due to all the reasons (and many more) listed above

Extremely political (look at the quality of MDs recently promoted). Must align yourself to the right people, and can't upset the wrong people. In Skokie with limited remote work flexibility. Exodus of the talented junior/mid level talent. Senior managers don't care. Mid-level employees are unwilling to provide candid feedback.
