Some talented and creative colleagues
Great office location, reasonable attempt and building office culture
Cons
- Career progression is very limited unless you come from Lyons.
- Promotions carry little weight — almost half the staff are “associates,” including people only 6 months out of university
- Leadership is weak since the founders and good directors departed — staff departures are barely acknowledged
- Unfair treatment during Covid: employees faced pay cuts while directors took large bonuses
- Pay is uncompetitive compared to peers in the industry
- Poor systems and processes — not at the standard of a true tier 1 firm despite the branding. Staff are pigeonholed with little opportunity to diversify skills
- Overly politically correct environment that feels inauthentic
