Pros

Compensation and benefits are fair.

Cons

Attempt at changing to a solutions-based company is a complete failure. They would not know a solutions approach if it bit them. Company is obviously on the brink considering the extremely high number of layoffs and office closures. Little respect from managing directors. Very stubborn atmosphere - responsibilities I previously had at other organizations were seized by others. Little or no autonomy. Worst part is some people are informed of layoffs during projects, only to be kept on board for months until projects are completed.

Advice to Senior Management

Start listening to your employees. Heed the advice of those who understand solutions. Stop running your organization like Arthur Andersen - that's the ancient way of doing business. More interaction between MDs, Directors and Staff. And hire some dedicated business development experts that understand solutions - otherwise there won't be any business to save your company.
