      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large projects, lots of work, 401k, medical insurance, Work in NYC, polite and friendly receptionist, lunch hour, basic vacation of two weeks, close to transportation

      Cons

      No professional growth, micro managing, work hard, but not respected of your efforts on projects, not credited for your work or contributions, management takes credit for your work, favoritism by principals, work hard ethic not rewarded, no respect from management, no salary increases, no mentoring , no room for growth or position growth, lots of promises but very little action, principals get lots of professional credit and great bonuses while staff are ignored and are expected to just work hard and stop complaining, overtime pay isn't given unless approved , so staff still expected to work for free

      Lack of Appreciation

      Pros

      Twice Yearly Bonuses were nice.

      Cons

      I worked on the San Francisco side of the office and the 1 Firm Firm culture does not exist. I was constantly made to feel unappreciated and like a low level nobody. Unless you are rich and in a high level position you will not be taken seriously or respected. I was consistently being manipulated by a passive aggressive superior who enjoyed controlling others and giving little to no praise for hard work. Any suggestions to improve procedures were turned down and inefficiency and lack of communication was constant from management.

      No longer a people-first company unfortunately

      Pros

      Good salary, pretty work spaces

      Cons

      Heavy on RTO "mandates" and "policies" to be in 5 days in some offices. We preach and sell hybrid outwardly, CEO publicly says "there's too much focus on return to office rates", yet leadership across most offices and at all levels are doing the exact opposite.
