The Harm Comes From Inside, Not the Work Itself - Consultant Handel Group Employee Review

Great to see Lauren Handel back rebuilding her first and original company. Old leadership left a mess and of course, bad reviews. Thankfully she is here to stay and is growing the business how she originally intended.

Takes time to rebuild a company but she is making it happen.

Some people on the team were actually decent to work with.

he whole place runs on who you know, not what you do, and it gets exhausting watching the same people get every good project while everyone else watches from the sidelines. There's this inner circle that just keeps feeding itself and the rest of us are expected to pick up the slack while they take credit for work they didn't even touch — which honestly gets old. No one even pretends it's fair anymore, people just accept it and move on, which is somehow worse because it means nobody's trying to fix it. The real problem is there's actual talent here that gets wasted because being good at your job doesn't matter, it matters if the right person likes you. You can feel the resentment building and people are jumping ship because they're tired of watching the same people fail up the ladder while doing actual work gets you nowhere. It's just depressing to watch a place where merit is treated like a joke.
