Pros

A majority of the people are hard working as their annual bonus is used as the primary motivator; perhaps to the point of determinant (high attrition rate).

Cons

Too many to speak of.... leadership generally is non-communicative, non-existent, and extremely weak; Ownership is lazy and completely disengaged; Leadership does not have a pulse on what is happening within the ranks; The company culture is solely monetary based; Senior management has a "do nothing and hope for the best" approach; New leadership lacks experience, direction and vision; The company lacks internal communication processes (random emails serve as corporate direction); The field and office staff do all the work and "feed the machine", but are not recognized equally; Project pursuit decisions are arrived based upon maximizing employee bonuses (not about projects or clients) and therefore work is always run extremely lean; The companies bonus structure is a "pyramid scheme" to the benefit of upper management, and senior leaders; There exists no exacting professional progression plan for employees (rules change at the whim of ownership; mid-year, ,etc.); Annual review process (the portion which is in control of the employee) is completely based upon subjectivity ( 100% on 360s, or the opinions of others; rather than actual performance or achievements); The culture is a reflection of its people, very "cult like", old school, clichés of favoritism, morally questionable, archaic, racist, and "narcissistic"; There exists little to no diversity or inclusivity within managerial ranks; Employee benefits are below industry average.

Pros

Great leadership under Cliff Chow. Success starts at the top as every company / team needs a Captain whom is respected and admired by his colleagues and competition - that’s Cliff. He brought a few people from Headquarters to help implement the new processes and transition into the NYC building culture - noted is Jason Hair. You’re not just an employee with a ID badge, management knows everyone by name and makes for an inviting and comfortable atmosphere.

Cons

Just breaking into the NYC market sector, the jobs aren’t as abundant in numbers as they were with Americon. Work force in the NYC office has been but my nearly 50% (in my estimate), since January 2017. Though this number was by design and targeted during the acquisition, it was tough to see colleagues let go after years working together. I would have to agree with the business decision to let half the company work force go, simply because the numbers didn’t make sense. Smart business move.
