Pros

- Some genuinely great people at the ground level - Flexibility and remote/hybrid options depending on your department - Decent benefits and work-life balance in pockets

Cons

- Leadership changes every 4-6 years but the toxic culture never does - Performative DEI and mental health initiatives — surface-level at best - Actual problem people are promoted while top talent burns out or leaves - High performers often treated like threats rather than assets - Pay remains below market, and HR is more protective of leadership than employees

Free lunches during busy season

Two recently promoted Managing Partners in the Baltimore office; neither should have been in those positions. Worst run office I’ve ever worked with.
