In my experience I never felt I got the truth from upper management when it came to my performance. Upper management would indicate my performance was in line with their expectations however I was hearing a completely didn't story from my colleagues. Also every year management would undergo an annual review for all levels, based on the "rules", management is not allowed to discuss items not specifically written on each employees review memos (which is discussed with the employee and signed off by employee prior to submission), this is completely untrue, anything is fair game, there tends to be a significant amount of bus tossing. Besides not following their annual review process, management favors certain employees, ensure the proper support is provided. Lastly, management should be comprised of partners or senior members within the firm, not sure if someone advocating for the employees should be part of upper management, especially since employees meet with said person on a reoccurring basis and discuss any issues, surely the conversations are confidential, not so much. This place is hopeless and it saddens me because I had high hopes for this place, but your time here hurts your career in terms of growth and opportunities elsewhere.
