Enigmatic professional services firm with inconsistent "culture"
Anonymous EmployeeFormer EmployeePros
Golden Handcuffs (pays their people well and gives generous annual bonuses) and pretty great benefits including plan options for health (including covering 75% of a family plan), dental, life-insurance.
Cons
Zero professional development that can be added to a resume (very rare title changes and actual promotions or role changes). The culture makes a big stink about collaboration and everyone getting a voice but it's almost entirely a big show. They're terrific at getting employees passionate about what the company does so that they don't then have to listen to you. They also, despite paying well etc., still don't always pay people equally what they're worth when it comes to money for work. There were plenty of people being overpaid for what they did and plenty being underpaid for what they were doing. At the time it was also a very top-heavy company with a TON of cooks in the kitchen who didn't want to be told how to do their jobs or run their teams so there was not real company-wide consistency in expectations - which caused a lot of resentment.
