No Accountability or Communication

Pros

Great company for entry to intermediate level employees to get quick exposure and experience. Great global exposure. Great company mission.

Cons

Work-Life Balance Career advancement is stagnant at senior levels. Lack of technology to support internal processes and reporting for any area. Has three business units that act as separate companies. Steals resources and sales from one another. One UL is a common message that is not accurate. Leadership is out of touch with what is possible to do. A recent massive internal initiative has recently failed because it was too deadline driven instead of quality driven. No accountability especially at the leadership level. No clear direction on where the business is going.

Pros

The offices are nice and open, painted brightly, providing a clean, friendly environment. There is employee parking.

Cons

The management lacks transparency and demands perfection. Even though the management works from home full time, they expect employees to come to the office and account for every minute of their day on their outlook calendars. The expectations are unrealistic and there is little to no support. Criticism is not construction and they do not inpsire employees. The projects are mundane and the advisory service department is not profitable. While the work they do is necessary, the social mission is lost due to persistent messaging surrounding revenue growth. There is little to no room for career growth or advancement.

Losing culture as a company

Pros

The mission of the company and the fellow staff at the “worker” level are great.

Cons

The leadership of the company has lost its path, way too much executive overhead, yet drive “cost cutting” measures down to staff who actually do the real work. Taking away deals from staff (going to desk sharing spaces), recently cut pensions and 401k benefits, and no stock options for workers (only stock grants for executives). Once the CEO leaves the company might have a change at improvement again. I could t take it and had to leave.
