The fall of the empire
Pros: - Hires young, bright resources
- A few really great managers/senior managers
- Amazing culture in the past - this still resonates with some managers/teams, but not all
- Analyst program is incredible - leaders, coaches and participants all enjoy and come away will great skills and networks
Cons: - Confusing and compressing compensation structure for FY13 and beyond, places all the risk on staff and away from partnership
- Opacity into firm earnings (and what they mean, e.g. "making plan")
- Inability to rotate between projects and get diversified experience
- Many "checked out" senior managers/PPDs, no mentorship at the highest level
- Lots of overhead staff watering down the culture and profits
- Many 'experienced hires' with no relevant work experience brought in at too high of a level in the PPD track
- Top heavy with nebulous edicts from HR organization that no one can request information from or make changes to, absolutely no personal care or attention paid
- Forever changing "road to partner", 10-12 years to 15+ years in my tenure
- Role of 'counselor' has no control on it, many counselors are unknowledgable and unenthused
