DBM is not the place it used to be - Senior Account Executive Drake Beam Morin Employee Review

Supportive environment for employees . Produced innovative counseling and training products for executives facing career management challenges . ( Note : I retired from a senior executive position 10 years ago ).

Frequent organizational changes require rapid adaptation by employees .

working as a consultant afforded more free time than normal, training in interviewing styles, resume writing etc and the chance to do presentations.

Lack of standardized training of any sort; poor communication from management who normally are using 3-5 month old data to base their decisions on your performance. Everything was done on the cheap and they don't really train you if you haven't done this before, they kind of show you basics, then let you wing it on your own, but telling the customer (and telling you to tell the customer) that they are providing very experienced consultants with years of experience. They also want you to have 80% client facing time, which is impossible when the programs are ending, so it was told to me by management to simply "fudge" the time you met with clients, or just add entries to the system to make it seem like you are meeting with clients more than you are.
