They pay a larger portion of comp in bonuses. So if they do poorly, you make less but they don’t need to let people go.

I heard from a few sources it is terrible there. They promise the world and then under deliver. Culture not great.

I worked there for 2 years in tax yes great bonuses. It terrible horrible culture and it’s all about the money that’s all partners care about. And yes the base is low and you never get a cost of living at adjustment at least at the senior director level

Not sure how accurate this is but I heard if you are new it’s challenging to get picked up on projects and new people are always looking for work.

I’m sure someone without many billable hours gets cut fast?

Do they do PIPs?

Generally the groups will share resources ex tax due diligence will pull from core tax and vice versa to avoid layoffs and as noted bases are kept low to help avoid layoffs.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.
