Thanks for writing a review. We do our best to provide a great work environment for employees and we’re glad you saw value in our benefits package as well. While we’re sorry your experience with Schellman didn’t align with what we try and provide, we’re always trying to improve the support systems in place for employees. In 2025, we saw an opportunity to implement a Client Success Organization to remove administrative burden and ensure we walk into engagements well-aligned with client needs. It’s very important that we create great experiences for not only our clients, but our employees as well.
We also can understand that some employees may have had negative experiences with Private Equity Firms in their career, but our leaders have always prioritized finding investors that readily buy into our established vision. Our plans to scale the organization while retaining the foundational culture we’ve built is something we take seriously, and we’ve found firms that understand that’s part of why we’re successful. So far, our partnerships have allowed us to grow year over year, invest in new technology, and expand our team significantly over the past few years.
We hope you took measures to make your frustrations known within the organization – we have a People Experience team dedicated to finding ways to ensure we’re fair in our expectations of employees. We also have direct lines of communication to leadership via feedback@schellman.com where concerns reach the executive team directly.
Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself
Cons
Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros
The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.
Cons
Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
