Warning - Do NOT work here

Pros

Company culture varies heavily by office - the junior staff all were very friendly and fun.

Cons

Laid off almost entire junior staff in Nov 2018 and have had consistent layoffs / exits of senior execs before then as well. They charge high fees for mediocre work. Women were not given priority to join more lucrative projects and were always put onto more mundane ones. Despite not having any work for months on end, junior staff was still expected to sit at their desks, not look at phones, and stare at their computers. After layoffs, they asked a few people to return on a contract basis because they didn't account for the workload they'd still have. They stopped answering people asking for recommendation letters if they didn't return when asked. I've never seen such a blatant disregard for company employees. Fun fact - they put up 100 or so people in the St. Regis and held a multi-day All-hands meeting (that included a marching band) in the hotel before laying off tons of people - seems like the money could have been put to better use. I felt the need to write this post because I see numerous posts that are clearly fake amongst the 1 star reviews meant to try and improve treliant's overall score. Their business plan was primed to set them up post the 2008 crisis but is now heavily outdated, which is why they need to lay people off.

Pros

Culture was once very collaborative with open communication.

Cons

Shift in regulatory environment to deregulation within financial services led to decrease in sellable work Fall 2017 - executive leadership have continuously promised strategy to turn around downward trajectory of firm but have failed to produce results. Lack of career growth - upon entry to the firm, was told firm culture was meritocratic. However, 1) promotions of high performers did not take place going into 2019, 2) poor performers have been promoted at the same time as high performers on the previously consistent, once-a-year promotion schedule, and 3) individuals new to the firm whose parents play golf with executive leadership have survived recent layoffs, including a major layoff fall 2018 in which half of the work force was let go (including two women who were both in third trimester of pregnancy and great performers - firm reversed decision to layoff both women when they realized how bad the optics were/the risk of potential lawsuit). Too many at the top who don't know how to sell business - executive leadership focused on making connections within industry, which is good, however the ability to close is severely lacking, with some service lines being able to sell better than others. Individuals who could sell business have been leaving in droves, resulting in significant drain to pipeline of work.

Limits the number of hours you can charge after making you work long hours

Pros

aggression toward those who ask questions but not smart enough to get away with it

Cons

Makes you work long hours but limits the number of hours you can bill them. New comers would do it because they try to impress the boss. But after they impress the boss, they will be laid off anyways---low performers with a personal relationship with the big boss will stay and try to reuse your work for the next season. Make sure you check your paystub carefully---HR would even skip your salaries. Yes, they have been doing this for long and most of the clients do not have expert staff to catch them cheating.
