Pros
Lots of resources Good compensation and benefits Challenging opportunities
Cons
Culture pushed down from several levels above my position is one that puts a higher priority on utilization than on client satisfaction or project delivery. Management tends to micro-manage. Matrix structure is not helping offices succeed if located outside of a major market. Overhead is oppressive. Hard to accept that our overhead costs are significantly higher after combining 20-30 heritage companies, each previously with their own IT, legal, finance, and management costs. Management has not developed expectations on a regional geographic basis for ensuring that all employees across all business lines are being efficiently utilized. P&L responsibility and reporting is rolled up along business lines instead of geographically.
