- Compensation and benefits are far below market
- Management takes departures very personally and have had outbursts of rage when employees put in their two weeks
- There's a huge disconnect between leadership and staff in terms of communication, and leadership has put in very small effort to adjust that
- Projects at AArete have become non-strategic and staff aug focused that increase turnover and decrease company morale
- Company culture has shifted from an eager-to-learn mentality to a lazy (and finger pointing) one due to MD pressure to completely rely on shared services
- MDs oversell and understaff projects without any risk mitigation, then blame managers for poor project planning and provide little to no support
- Management states they are very invested in Diversity and Inclusion but it feels performative as there is a lack of meaningful representation of marginalized groups and the employee resource group is lead mostly by white males
- Overall lack of transparency and poor communication from leadership
- Lots of favoritism and rewarding of undeserving employees
