The office culture was highly passive-aggressive, with a noticeable lack of accountability from ownership. Mistakes or project issues were often redirected onto interns and junior staff, even in situations where there was little guidance, oversight, or support provided. Interns and junior employees were expected to perform work typically handled by senior professionals, despite there being limited mentorship or experienced staff available for guidance. The firm appeared to rely heavily on interns as low-cost labour rather than investing in proper professional development. Support for professional growth and licensing was also lacking. Pursuing licensing or professional advancement did not feel encouraged, and employees were often left to navigate these processes independently. Expectations were frequently inconsistent or unclear, and requests for clarification were sometimes met with dismissive or sarcastic responses rather than constructive direction. Workplace rules and limitations also felt inconsistently enforced depending on how personally aligned or agreeable employees were with ownership. Work-life balance was strongly discouraged. Overtime was treated as an expectation rather than an exception, often due to poor project management, unrealistic timelines, and a lack of planning from leadership. Employees frequently had to advocate for appropriate overtime compensation rather than it being proactively addressed. Communication from ownership could also be unprofessional at times, including speaking down to employees in front of clients and consultants, which created an uncomfortable and demoralizing work environment.
