Pros

Schellman has a unicorn like ability to reinvent itself every 2-3 years while still maintaining its cultural DNA around focusing on its people, clients, and quality. We have new services, markets where we have become the leader (federal) and exciting new areas of opportunity (digital trust, software security, etc.) Additionally, we have recruited some of the best new talent in the business over the last 12 months. Last, our private equity partners have fostered significant growth an investment along with a discipline for financial success.

Cons

Nothing significant here - Change can be tough everywhere, especially for leaders who have been here 10, 15+ years. Resource management across regions and practices is a challenge for all professional services organizations. There are known pockets of under and over-utilization of certain people.

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Cons

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
