The culture is serious and professional in the office yet relaxed at lunch. Hierarchy is not critically important and opinions are always heard and respected because everyone is intelligent. Diversity is great as there are people from everywhere, and everyone seems to be tolerant as discrimination of any kind is strongly looked down upon.

The firm is pretty diverse on the whole and they seem to respect that diversity of cultures.

The company is trying to make a lot of noise about improving it's company culture, but because of a lack of communication with its employees, this is mostly false.

Most people are smart, but are also arrogant and cocky. It's the typical snooty WASP environment and you need to play the game right in order to succeed.

Dress code is casual, but some of the older workers show up in completely professional attire in ties.

Diversity is good if you consider the fact that diversity means many varieties of white males, if you are a white male and you get as much money from clients as possible you will advance far.

The company's sole asset is its intellectual captial and its People. Yet, the Chief Learning Officer changes every year. It's a revolving door. For some reason, there is not a focus on it or no one stays. This makes it very hard for Learning leadership to implement any kind of long-term vision around people development, career pathing or their performance measurement process - which changes every year. Once they even put an Investment Banker in the CLO role who had no organizational development or learning experience.

As a result, each division does its own thing in terms of learning platform, processes and resources.

The diversity of the firm was average, but I really think they should make an effort to get more women in mid to upper level management.
