Trending in a poor direction - Designer Konrad Group Employee Review

Great leadership, smart and accomplished colleagues, interesting projects, and a very fun company culture.

Pay is not competitive for the industry or caliber of work.

-Great coworkers on the Associate Consultant, Consultant, and early manager levels -Thrown into the fire which means you learn a lot and gain new skills at a rapid pace -Reasonable hours/work-life balance

-Compensation is WELL below market rate, with no transparency on future salary increases or timelines. There are also no bonuses/performance based compensation despite significant discrepancies in employee workloads. -No HR department. Whenever employees are fired (which happens often and without notice) there is no source for employees to go to for questions/support. Similarly, if anything happens on a project that would require HR advice, there is nobody to go too. -Entry level employees are put onto projects without training or any knowledge expertise and expected to "figure it out" resulting in sub-optimal deliverables to the client and an overly-stressed day to day work environment -Upper level managers are unengaged on projects and individual team management. Some, also promote a toxic office social culture of gossiping about employees, creating a sense of discomfort among their team members -Client projects can be antiquated and you get no say on what you're assigned to or for how long you'll be on it
