Pros

I suppose there is little micro-management, so that's good? Can't think of what else.

Cons

Appraisers are the bread and butter of the company but don't seem valued. Several fee drops, new resource fees, % cuts off the top, etc. as the company spends and spends to expand and then funds the typical low-value corporate salaried roles. It really feels like corporate greed at the expense of the appraisers. Continual drawbacks having to deal with the ongoing, multi-year development of a new, unifying template (since BBG exists by gobbling up small firms with their own working templates). The CEO chimed in only a couple of times throughout COVID and inflationary/high interest/recession-guessing period. BBG proves that "fake it 'til you make it" doesn't only apply at the level of the singular employee. And they haven't made it yet. The managers are sheisters--or maybe I'm simply in the wrong industry.
