Used to be a good place to work, but not anymore - Recensione dipendente - Principal Consultant presso ERM

Upper Management has gone downhill since a large private equity firm became the majority shareholder in the firm about 3 years ago. Since then they have been relentless in constant pressure on staff for billability and profitability. Labor rates have been raised significantly making it difficult to retain work and win new work. Continual, frequent, and unnecessary work processes changes make it difficult to get things done efficiently. If you don't have enough billable work to meet your goal its up to you to find new work. ERM has lost many qualified and experienced technical professionals in the last year or two as a result of these changes. In company wide emails and all staff calls with upper management it feels like all they ever talk about is ERM's sustainability practice, even though most of the company did not work in this area. Mid-Management was okay, but I think they were undercut at times by Upper Management.
