      Pros

      Remote work. No other pros.

      Cons

      Disappointing, to say the least. I was laid off recently with no warning and very little severance pay. Earlier this year, when the first round of layoffs happened, we were told that there would be no other layoffs, and they assure us that we were headed in the right direction. And then we were laid off with zero notice. This is despite NELSON continuing to acquire new firms and hiring for new positions. During my year long tenure here, I received zero feedback during my performance reviews, my skills grew very little, and I received no mentorship from senior staff. There just seems to be all talk and show from upper management. Why give the staff false hope that there won’t be any layoffs and then lay us off right before the holiday season? This ruthless and inhuman. I wish I had never joined the company in the first place. Do not join this company if you would like to thrive in your career, and want to learn and grow every day, this is an absolute waste of time.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. This has been a challenging and emotional time for us, and we appreciate your willingness to share your experience. Please know that your contribution to our organization has been invaluable, and your dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed. This recent round of layoffs was not planned, and we didn’t anticipate any more layoffs at the time it was stated. The decision to initiate another round of layoffs was a difficult one, and it was not a reflection of your performance or your commitment to your role. As you are aware, this was a strategic move necessitated by the ever-changing business landscape we discussed during our last Town Hall. These steps, while not easy, are necessary for the continued future growth of our firm and we’re truly sorry for how this affected you personally. While it is painful to see you leave the company, I am confident that your capabilities and experience will serve you well in your future endeavors. We would like to assure you that we are committed to providing support during this transition. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need a reference, assistance with job placement, or any other form of support. We are here to help you in any way we can as you move forward in your career. If you have any questions or require further clarification regarding your layoff, please don't hesitate to contact our HR department. We are more than willing to provide any additional information you may need. Once again, thank you for your dedication and commitment to NELSON. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and hope our paths may cross again in the future.

      Pros

      The people are the heartbeat of the company. Truly, some of the kindest, enthusiastic and creative people I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

      Cons

      Each office operates as a separate firm which means little consistency in regards to systems, workflows and process. On top of that, so many people have left or been let go that there are massive information gaps. Often, the demands of the client are prioritized over the capacity of the team and proposals seem to have been written in a vacuum. In essence, you are consistently set up for one thing: failure. ZERO investment in professional or personal development (despite repeated efforts from team and practice leaders). Despite the firm being quite successful, poor business decisions mean frequent layoffs. Consequently, teammates are frequently taking on additional workloads and are silenced through a culture of fear that they may be next. I'll give one example of company culture. If you want to welcome a new coworker to the firm by taking them out to lunch, or getting them a card or flowers, that money comes out of your pocket. Ever wondered what it feels like to be a cog in a wheel? Join Nelson!
