Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re disappointed to hear that your experience did not reflect the values we strive to uphold, we appreciate your perspective. At our core, we believe that everything we do improves lives—for our clients, our communities, and our people. That commitment is guided by our values: being nimble, unfussy, principled, human, connected, diverse, balanced, collaborative, and conscientious. We recognize that living out these values takes continuous work, and we’re continuously investing in efforts to foster an inclusive, adaptive, and supportive culture. We take concerns around culture, change-readiness, and fairness seriously. While we’re proud of the stability and positive aspects you noted, reviews like yours help us reflect, learn, and improve. We conduct regular employee surveys to gain feedback from our employees and also have a virtual anonymous comment box so our team members can report issues anonymously. We highly encourage you to consider reaching out to us so we may learn more to fully understand your frustration and become a better organization for it. We wish you the very best in your journey and thank you for your contributions during your time with us.

Pros

*Opportunities to work on a variety of projects early on, which can build experience quickly. *Flexible hybrid work schedule (if your manager allows) and occasional company-sponsored events. *A few genuinely supportive colleagues who are willing to help when they have the time.

Cons

*High pressure environment with little training or guidance for new hires. You’re expected to figure things out on your own but are criticized if you make mistakes. * Management can feel disconnected from day-to day work. Feedback is often vague or critical rather than constructive. *Billable hour requirements create constant stress and lead to working evenings or weekends to “make up time.” *Office culture can be cliquey and unwelcoming, especially if you’re not part of the “in-group.” *Work-life balance is tough to maintain due to unrealistic deadlines and pressure to work extra hours without acknowledgment.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate your recognition of the early project exposure and flexibility, and we’re grateful you highlighted some of the supportive teammates you encountered. We also hear your concerns and take them seriously. While we aim to be a place where driven individuals thrive, we recognize that high expectations must be matched with strong support. Feedback like yours reinforces the importance of equipping our managers with the tools and training they need to lead with clarity, empathy, and consistency, while also fostering a stronger culture of mentorship—areas we are actively working to improve. At Keller, our mission is to improve lives—those of our clients, communities, and most importantly, our people. That includes cultivating a workplace where everyone feels included, supported, and empowered. We know we’re not perfect, and we’re committed to learning and growing. Your insights help us do that. Thank you again for your contributions during your time with us, and we wish you continued success in your career.
