The "Best Places to Work" banner is misleading. Leadership puts significant effort into curating a polished image, but much of it is performative. Marketing tracks who can leave Glassdoor reviews and encourages only positive ones. If you want a more accurate view of the culture, talk to former employees.
The promise of partnership and long-term reward is dangled early and often, but partner payouts haven’t happened in years. Meanwhile, turnover remains incredibly high—unsurprising, given how often people realize the dream they were sold doesn’t match reality.
If the same energy spent on fabricating culture was actually invested in people and leadership, the place might live up to the hype.
