Aggressive growth, incompetent leadership - Anonymous employee Atwell Employee Review

They have an extremely aggressive growth strategy without the competence to execute it. The majority of what Atwell upper management told the employees when our firm was acquired was a lie. Your life revolves around time sheets, utilization rates, meetings, etc. They have lots of top down policies and procedures that make it difficult to bring in work. Maybe that works for them in other markets, but makes them unable to compete in this market. Legal and accounting actively work against the project managers. They bragged about their 95% retention rate and then laid off 20% of the staff within 6 months. They give lots of lip service to their culture, but the truth is that there is no company culture. They promised raises to certain staff that never came through. Horrible company.
