-Miscommunication between feedback, received on jobs and engagement reviews, and continuing employment decisions. Positive feedback on reviews may not be indicative of future employment with the firm.
-Negative feedback which can impact future employment is not communicated with the employee before or after decision is made.
-Employee layoffs can occur immediately after putting in long hours during being season, with no notice to the employee beforehand.
-Employee utilization can falter at times due to cancellation/delays of certain jobs and unavailability of other work. Employees can ask managers and other employees for additional work, and then HR, but at times, may not receive additional work.
-While employee assigned coaches are supposed to help employees with utilization hour goals for the year, underperformance may not be communicated. If you are to work here, I suggest keeping a tight track of your utilization and make formal complaints with HR if your utilization hours are not meeting the firm's goals.
