CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally exposed to good projects. Chance to travel. Close relationships with diverse group of individuals in and out of work. Nice office facilities. Chance for good promotions is often dependent on how well you have upper management's ear.

Cons

Lack of omunication and oversight by management. Projects go out the door often without proper quality control. Conversations between management and clients are often not relayed to those doing the work and therefore project are sometimes not informed and lack the depth of understanding necessary to make good projects.

CallisonRTKL Response

Thank you for sharing. It would be helpful to hear your story and what happened as to why you have this perspective regarding top managers as this is a serious statement. If we are not made aware of a potential issue, we can't improve or make needed changes. To date, I have not been made aware of such allegations regarding race or sex. We have 49% women in our firm, and we have DEI groups and initiatives to bring forward awareness, value, inclusion, and belonging. The more dialogue we have together the better we become.
