Now, as far as I've heard about other branches, this feedback is strictly for the Palo Alto office.
Don't know where to start:
- Don't have competitive salaries
- Not many benefits (health, PTOs) as compared other consulting companies.
- Horrible PALs and Managers: push you to the brink of morale break-down and still keep beating you while you are down there.
- Worst work-life balance: (work is the only life that will be left)
- Managers/ Leaders don't know how to scope the work: probably need to get their foot in the door with the clients first that's why they show one of the lowest quotes in the market.
- I thought I was the only one who felt these drawbacks of working here, but there were others and had the same complains; couldn't do anything but keep quiet. More than 10 people left around the same time due to these complains.
- They probably say or show that they care about the feedback, but seriously management can't take any kind of scrutiny. So, if someone opens up by giving bad feedback, they are gone!
- Force employees to provide good feedback on Glassdoor. It is one of the items on the checklist for new-hires to complete in the first three months.
- Keep doing these small useless gatherings every quarter and put up a show how great their success is in terms of revenue, but lack serious human interaction and management skills (even though that's a major necessary skill)
- Treat old employees who have gotten them leads and business as if it was their duty and they were supposed to do that.
The list keeps going on, but I won't be reaping any benefits anymore with this feedback so I will end it here. This was all to warn who are seeking employment within this office.
