Don't believe all the hype. - Anonymous employee Baird Employee Review

The culture is changing as the next level of management moves up the ranks. Paul Purcell did some positive things during his leadership tenure, but I wonder what the future holds as he transitions out. Unquestionable loyalty to management seems to be the number one priority if you want to get anywhere in the firm. A lot of good people in the corporate office seem frustrated (overworked, underpaid, etc.), but they don't look for work elsewhere because they're constantly reminded that Baird is one on the Best Places to Work list. The Best Place to Work list is just a marketing gimmick. Nothing more.
