I'm sorry to see your review, but honestly think it's probably a good thing that you've decided to move on. We work hard to create an environment that is inclusive of all people and while I disagree with your assessment of the average age of our Atlanta office, the fact that you've referenced age at all makes me think that your values and the firms’ values are not aligned. Best of luck to you. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

Cool location, bus to train stations, generally nice people

Cons

Little room for growth, can take forever to move up. Also, no tolerance for any mistake, even the most minor. Saw lots of people called at night and told to not come back the next day. Offices/cubes were then cleaned up of all personal items and those were messengered to the employee. Like they couldn't get rid of the person fast enough. Not good for morale.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. To be honest, this doesn't sound like us at all - Chicago or otherwise. We value risk-taking and know that it takes all kinds to create amazing programming for our clients. That means mistakes happen; you're totally right. I'll make sure to look into your concerns with my leadership team to make sure we're always handling performance concerns with the utmost respect. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR
