Glad I came back! - Senior Vice President PondelWilkinson Employee Review

- Opportunity to do lots of things - You get to work with many cool clients and have exposure to tons of different situations with some very well-respected companies

- Senior management does not respect younger workers' skills in using technology. They have never used complex databases and really feel that technological competence in younger workers is similar to secretarial work. There are senior members of the team who don't even keep contact information for clients in the computer. They seem to feel that they are still relevant despite lacking skills in graphic design, MS Office programs, etcetera. - Senior management will have younger workers spend copious amounts of time on projects that don't really serve clients. - Senior management, with the exception of a few, don't maintain relationships with people at investment banks. They cannot get their clients meetings and I never saw one even bother to pick up the phone to pull any favors for clients. - Workflows and teams are not managed at all. It is not uncommon for younger workers to bear heavy workloads while his/her superiors never coordinate tasks. - There is NO innovative thinking at this firm. - Younger workers are treated like children. They say this is a family firm. What that means is that if you are young, you will be told what you have to do and you'd better not argue, and we don't want to listen to your ideas, yet you will be expected to contribute to the business by providing senior management with the names of companies they should approach for business. - Senior management has an indirect communication style.
