A Great Firm Gone Wrong

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of smart people. Hard working. Benefits are better than most. Continued emphasis on research (although people are getting stretched too thin to do it to the same depth that had been traditional).

Cons

Constant layoffs and reshufflings make it difficult to get any momentum, either careerwise or businesswise. Leadership (especially the CEO) doesn't inspire the staff. The firm just seems adrift and taking on water. People are stretched too thin to consistently deliver high-quality work.

They throw good people out like the trash

Business Outlook

Pros

Training was great. People in training really seemed to care. Pay was very good. A great place to be trained for your next job.

Cons

Spent all this time and money training you to do the job one way and then fire you for for doing it the way they trained you. What a waste of time and money, Managing Director was a joke.
