Atwell Reviews

This company has the same strategy as cancer, growth for the sake of growth. They’ll buy multiple companies in a year but won’t promote or give raises to employees who do the work of 3. Instead, they’ll hire multiple levels of managers who don’t have any experience in the industry, who make overworked employees do even more reporting so the new clueless managers can justify their paychecks by calling pointless meetings to review reports they don’t understand. Turnover is high in some departments. Management at the top is awful and completely disconnected from the average employee. Furthermore, they have only gotten worse with respect to DEI. All empty promises. They recruit at fewer HBCUs than they used to and the DEI initiatives are purely for marketing.

Your whole life is chargeability, for you, your team, what the client is billed. It seems that every single project is out of budget. Feels like it has to be the result of intentional underbidding of projects. -everything you do and bill will be questioned, from the day of your hire until you leave -they will work you into an early grave and celebrate people who work around the clock. Emails, phone calls and teams messages at all hours, including when you’re on PTO -people taking PTO and apologizing for being unavailable at certain times … on their PTO - I don’t think my manager knew a single personal detail about me and had no desire to learn about it. I was a money making meat sack that could easily be replaced -everyone in my department who’d been there more than 1-2 years will stab you in the back if it advances them. Everyone who doesn’t like that leaves within 18 months. -because of the 40% turnover in my department last year, I was constantly training everyone around me, including people in positions I’d never held, and people above my pay grade -you are on the phone all day. All. Day. They’ve decided meetings are chargeable and chargeability is king. This means you can’t do your real, actual work until your 8-10 hours a day of meetings are over - people are just allowed to talk to each other… however. I’ve never encountered a less collegial group of human beings.
