Pros

There has been a lot of high level change over the past year. While it will take time for that change to grab hold on a large scale, you can already see the benefits. Certain members of the executive team are willing to listen more than in the past. There are growth opportunities in more departments and offices than in the past. Hours and work-life balance are becoming more flexible in many locations - and not only for those at the top.

Cons

Too many mergers. There's not enough time to settle in between, or attention paid to legacy employees who continue to put in long hours and lots of effort. There is an unspoken but very clear message that incoming mergers are better and more important than those who have given their career to the firm. There is also an unwillingness to help change the culture from many offices. It's the majority of the employees contributing to the culture problem - not the executive team.

Pros

The people are the heartbeat of the company. Truly, some of the kindest, enthusiastic and creative people I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Cons

Each office operates as a separate firm which means little consistency in regards to systems, workflows and process. On top of that, so many people have left or been let go that there are massive information gaps. Often, the demands of the client are prioritized over the capacity of the team and proposals seem to have been written in a vacuum. In essence, you are consistently set up for one thing: failure. ZERO investment in professional or personal development (despite repeated efforts from team and practice leaders). Despite the firm being quite successful, poor business decisions mean frequent layoffs. Consequently, teammates are frequently taking on additional workloads and are silenced through a culture of fear that they may be next. I'll give one example of company culture. If you want to welcome a new coworker to the firm by taking them out to lunch, or getting them a card or flowers, that money comes out of your pocket. Ever wondered what it feels like to be a cog in a wheel? Join Nelson!
