Pros

* The leaders care about their colleagues. This is always evident, but never more so than during Hurricane Irma when they raised funds for colleagues impacted, rented hotel rooms for those who needed it, checked in to make sure everyone had supplies, allowed colleagues the time they needed to tend to their families and safety, allowed colleagues to bring their kids to work, provided lunch for colleagues, etc. They not only seek feedback on how they can improve, but they act on that feedback to continue making this a "best place to work". * The partners are competent. You don't see this at every organization - in fact you often wonder how some business owners have managed to fall into any kind of success, but at BKS you can see why they've been so successful. They strive for continuous improvement in themselves and lead by example. They are intelligent and emotionally intelligent. * The firm is focused on giving back to the community. If you are like-minded, you know how valuable it is to work for an organization that dedicates its own resources to giving back. Each colleague is afforded 3 days per year to dedicate to the cause of his/her choosing. The colleagues raise funds together and vote on the causes to which they will be donated. All of this is in addition to the time and money that the firm itself donates to community causes. * There is transparency. Firm performance is shared with all colleagues - there are no secrets. When the firm does well and when it doesn't, everyone gets a front row seat to the results. They share in financial success by way of bonuses. * There are plenty of opportunities for growth. You need to be committed to self-development, but BKS will help you reach your goals and provide opportunities and resources for your professional development. * There are snacks. Enough said.

Cons

* High growth means lots of change and a very fast pace. It requires adaptability. It often feels like there is more work than can be accomplished, and that can be overwhelming. The leadership team strives for everyone to have work-life balance, but we're not always as balanced as we'd like to be.

Pros

I was previously proud to say the company I worked for a company that took care of their employees and followed the Azimuth in all decision making, but it feels as if a switch has been flipped by senior management since beginning of Q1. The majority of colleagues care very much about their coworkers and clients.

Cons

Unfortunately the “Bean Counters” are now at the helm, and senior management seems to have strayed from following everything the Azimuth stands for. They are hurriedly rushing out half-baked changes by outsourcing work over seas with a full speed ahead, no matter if it works or not, mentality, while still expecting significant client retention and growth.
