Good old boys club & political - Anonymous employee Baird Employee Review

From the top it's a good old boys club. The top execs all worked together at a prior firm and they protect their own (i.e. Jim Herrick story). It's also very political, no matter the department. Everyone is trying to prove how they are better than everyone else through backstabbing and blaming of others. Maybe that's common at all companies but being a manager here is exhausting because the lower level employees are always right. Instead of actually managing, it's your job to keep everyone happy.
