As we come out of the pandemic, we are working hard to ensure that our culture and management approach are both central to our work. Thank you for the feedback.
-Interesting projects with similar types of clients
-Nice, committed junior staff eager to learn
- Small firm with big mission
Cons
-Disorganized senior/executive management who treated subcontractors like disposable resources, rather than assets to a team.
-Disregard for investment in internal infrastructure; it was hard to watch project managers and junior staff struggle
-Toxic work environment; it was sad to have full time staff reach out for help
-Underpayment of subcontractors compared to the market.
-In hindsight, all subcontractors at the time were white, regardless of project content or geography they were working on

This advice is helpful and in recent years, we have strengthened our management approach to ensure that every employee and contractor feels valued and gets the supervision they need. Thank you.
