Pros

Good people at the Staff/Manager level. Diverse workforce. Hybrid schedule.

Cons

So far in 2023 there's been layoffs (we were told to cut costs, but then they hired more managing directors), close to 1/4 of the department resigned in the last two months, no staff level new hires have been made. Some teams within Finance are doing better than others, but overall morale is low. Core did start as a people-first business. Culture in Finance wasn't always aligned, but it's only gotten worse. New CFO started in Oct/Nov 2022. Perhaps the driving force behind the changes.

We agree that department reorganizations are tough, and change is challenging. We are confident in the leadership we have in place and look forward to moving the culture of the department and their teams forward.

Pros

Great place to learn, collaborate with other teams, and see the results of the work you put in. Good benefits and relaxed work environment that makes being at the office a great place to work. The people really make this place what it is.

Cons

Summers are very busy (common for student housing) and collaboration across teams is not always a smooth process.
