Pros

1. Capability to hire high-performing, engaged people. 2. Consistency of work - good rainmakers bring it in. 3. Most people have all the traits of being great coworkers.

Cons

1. Business structure comprises two divisions (based on practice lines) with very different cultures - one good, one poor. 2. Constantly too much work and not enough variety - a tendency to churn and burn staff. 3. A culture of favourites. 4. Leadership reluctance to implement change/business process improvement to increase productivity and morale. 5. Unorthodox bonus structures which demotivate and are out of kilter with the rest of the exec search industry.

Pros

I really enjoy working here! The teams are great, the work is fulfilling, and I genuinely appreciate how invested the firm is in my career development.

Cons

I’d love to see more firm-wide events where we can connect in person and build stronger relationships, especially since most of us work remotely.

Unless you are a fee earning partner there isn’t really a growth path
