Private Equity destroying what made the Company great - Environmental Consultant ERM Employee Review

Private Equity firm who now owns ERM is creating too much pressure on the higher ups to prioritize financials over employee well-being and ethics. Too many layoffs in recent years, creating tension and lack of job security. Heavy focus on metrics resulting in pressure to remain billable even though work isn't being brought in enough; the work that is won tends to be due to overextending and underselling which means you need to do more work in less time; and firm is now pushing for offshoring to reduce costs even though local teams are looking for work and trying to stay billable.
