Business Outlook

Pros

Office in midtown, flexible work location.

Cons

Understaffed and stressed colleagues, made worse by hiring freezes. They focus on sales with zero rewards for selling for most colleagues and little training and support. There is no culture to speak of with most colleagues working remote, rarely traveling in to the office. Lots of resignations lately due to lean client teams and demanding clients. The firm seems to be fixated on offshoring and automation, causing the degradation of colleague morale. Poor outlook
