Large firm: Experiences Can Vary Greatly
Pros: Exceptional knowledge sharing and collaboration practices strongly enabled by technology
Cons: Dysfunctional performance management tools and systems, very weak HR functions far more focused on managing risk to the partnership than providing employee support,  inconsistency of management styles and practices and poorly communicated and exercised promotional practices. Many individuals rather than seeking creative answers to problems revert to a "robotic" E&Y language on the thought this may be a safe survival strategy. But no organization can thrive on this basis for the long term.  Many outstanding and professional people will be encountered along with others whose professional standards are abysmal - who have been "protected" by another individual with some interest in that person remaining in that position.
