Can anyone elaborate on what is funny? Lol this was a serious question

They’re a firm that used to be known for a regional staffing model and good work life balance. Three years ago they changed their strategy are are now just a low tier boutique with no real niche. I was previously at EYs M&A practice, and a ton of north highland senior folks quit and joined EY at that time. So obviously I only heard biased reviews, but they were pretty negative.
