Pros
This firm has a lot of positives. They are genuinely interested in doing good things. however, it is important to realize that if you are coming from a multinational company, you will struggle here on a number of dimensions. The first leadership, then compensation (which was updated in 2022 but not nearly enough) and everything that comes with generalizations of the South. I’ll let you fill in those blanks. People were genteel, kind to your face. They offer food often during lunch and learns. The company takes employees on walking tours in the Charleston office which is greatly appreciated by all to get to know the city and architecture. what’s missing from these walks and luncheon learns is the honest truth about what is happening to development and properties on the peninsula. That entire region is at threat of being underwater, but nothing was ever mentioned.
Cons
Old-fashioned hierarchy. White males paid higher than everyone else, you will see wide disparity between them and females/minorities. I believe they want to change, but maybe not as ready as they think they are for that. It will take time. In the meantime they may lose great people.
