Cultural growing pains
|
|
- A top firm in a growing area of finance - Very smart people with impressive experience - Hybrid office model - Work-life balance is respected - Compensation in line with peers
|
- Senior leadership comes across as cliquey and not willing to address cultural problems - CMO Liz displays a very passive/aggressive, micromanager style that comes across as sarcastic, negative and discouraging. She's not open to new ideas and different ways of working and always changing rules & expectations. - Extreme penny pinching for things like: subscriptions to Lexus Nexus and publications, business travel - Glaring lack of diversity - Vacation and health benefits not competitive

Gave me an offer after interviewing for multiple rounds, and after I successfully passed a fact pattern, and then after giving me one assignment, offered no feedback despite it being good work, and terminated employment without a word.

The long term opportunity is there, but management could do better in articulating it internally. There's been a lot of change in recent years, and it may take a while for the dust to settle. It's important for management to work harder to be transparent and form a bridge between newer staff and more tenured staff.

Industry leader for a reason
|
|
Strong work-life balance for a job associated with law
Company tries to develop positions that capitalize on people's strengths and evolve their careers
Different and challenging work as firm is leader is a new field
Better than average benefits like free in-network healthcare
Colleagues are bright, interesting people with strong personalities
|
Nonlawyers definitely have lower status
Working parents have lots of company but younger employees are kind of adrift

Toxic CMO, Absent CEO
|
|
General managers Aviva and David are wonderful, smart, thoughtful leaders. There is plenty of space to do good work for them and the very smart teams around them.
|
CMO Liz is an eternal pessimist, lacks essential leadership skills, seeks only to micromanage the team and has consistently hired and fired capable marketers who she personally butt heads with. I witnessed her place her hand in front of other team members faces during meetings to silence them. She interrupts, speaks over others and generally lacks faith in the capabilities of her team. Her management style is fearful and uninspired.
