ERM reviews

Not a good place for mid-level people. Senior leadership is so detached that they fail to understand the people; it's all about numbers (billability). They offer little to no guidance/mentorship, and it is a very heavy "entrepreneur" atmosphere where you have to find work yourself; management will not help. If they do find you work, you have one shot to hit a homerun, or you get benched by the Partner/PM for months. They haven't hit sales goals in a year because work is super slow, but they keep hiring folks because "they have growth goals to meet.", Meanwhile, 20 people are sitting around with less than 10 hours of work. And as people leave, they just pile their work on someone else instead of spreading it out across the dozens of people available.

You really have to be a self starter to make it in this company. You have to take time to connect with others so you are busy enough to meet your goals. That being said most of the goals are unrealistic. My goals have been met multiple times but I have been given the “run around” every time promotions are available as to why nothing was given to me. And was never given any explanation why I never received one. If you are going to set goals for promotions you should follow them. I was under the impression that the organization is very too heavy and they had to slow down in promotions which is fine but you need to convey that information to the employees working hard to meet those goals. In the business unit I am in I have had weird experiences with some of the staff of just genuine unprofessionalism and rudeness. Every company has this but it’s been extremely noticeable. I found that most of the projects I worked on were highly under budgeted and I never could produce the quality of work that I would have liked to.
