NBBJ reviews

There is WAY too much politics at this firm. People constantly have to play the game right and watch over their shoulders. It distracted me from focusing on my work. Partners need to stop fighting and stop trying to prove themselves among each other. HC leadership is broken and it is not about collaboration but it is about positioning. Leadership fosters process improvement but they themselves don't follow it.

The Managing Partners fail to really support or trust studios to do what they need to do to function as a profitable team of creative professionals. Instead, the work environment feels very top-down where partners don't know who the staff is, and frankly, couldn't care less. They refuse to mandate standards where needed and desired to improve processes and tools, and legislate where it's not needed. The leadership is totally out of touch. It's the kind of place where you work 30 years, and get a 15 minute lame send off with a half an inch of champagne. You really feel like a meaningless cog there.
