Wasserman reviews

Poor leadership in the consulting division. As others have mentioned here, Vice Presidents only care about themselves and their salaries while they should be focused on actually building and motivating a team. At least 50% of the Directors have left in the past year because of poor leadership from Vice Presidents. The salaries are way below market rate. Many of the team leaders really have no clue what teamwork is about and do very little except delegate an inordinate amount of work on others. There is no consistency across teams so your experience is largely dictated by the account you're on and the leadership you're under. Read the other posts about the poor leadership as this is very true - most of the VPs only care about advancing their careers and don't have a clue how to build a team. Some accounts are led better than others but there seems to be this pervasive and arrogant mentality that any issues on a team are because of the managers and directors without looking at the Vice Presidents. To really address the issues, senior leadership would have to look at itself and based on my experience that will never happen. Leadership would rather blame others than themselves. The change has to begin at the senior level because there is gross incompetence, no team unity, poor direction and absent leadership.

Poor workflow management and you are inundated with work without any clear direction. No respect at all for any work/life balance as you are expected to be available 7 days a week. Horrible communication from top to bottom as VPs try control and manipulate subordinates. Leadership only delegates to others and typically sells clients on services without having any clear direction on how to deliver. Poorly run Insights team as the leader is highly disingenuous, narcissist who only cares about himself and his career trajectory. Highly political environment where you get ahead via relationships and not your work ethic.
