1: Half of the company is made up of senior management and the company spends a lot of money to keep them while underpaying everybody else. It’s not top notch executives they bring in either.
2: Forget about a promotion if you’re a minority. All of the minorities work in HR. If they don’t, they usually quit and get replaced with another minority. Got to keep the quota you know! You get promoted based on your last name or the color of your skin. If you’re a white male - you just might do alright here!
3: The company hired a great person to be the head of HR and she quit immediately once she saw the toxic environment she walked into. She tried to change the culture and realized she was wasting her time.
4: The company fired an employee after she got sexually harassed by their upper management because she sent many emails to the whole company exposing the negativity at Ankura.
5: Ankura tried to decrease one of the only black managing directors salary but give him a raise so they can report a lower amount on how much he makes if he didn’t leave in time. He saw what they were doing and left. Shady.
6: They told a black man to pull up his pants when he wears a shirt, jeans and a belt everyday while other employees literally come in with their red hair or graphic T shirts. I wonder what that is about.
