Bad leadership at all levels (one firm concept makes this a pervasive problem at all geographic locations). Never listens only talks Bad compensation, even for top performers, bad benefits as well. Not competitive with the Denver market. Cannot compete, because billings rates are not adjusted to geographic markets. Low realization rates create more pressure and harm the culture. Expectations are generally never clear. Reactive management group (no steady hands at the wheel), very susceptible to panic. Always reinventing the wheel every year with new policies, new templates, new approach every year. No baseline for comparisons.

Management by fear. Favorites played. Scapegoats selected. Politics difficult to navigate. Perception is EVERYTHING here. Old-fashioned, stodgy, conservative, strict. No flex hours or autonomy. Hard to get anything done because you have to get buy-in from the entire board, not just your department managers. Have seen Partners throw all-out temper tantrums over lunch orders. Screaming; yelling; slamming doors - totally against company "core values." Partners are kings; everyone else is a peon. Company expanded too fast with acquisitions and isn't skilled at it; as a result, folks in the newer offices are often resentful and angry (legitimately). Constant turnover. Stifling environment overall. Felt suffocated. Worst company I've ever worked for; worst managers I've ever worked for.
