Pros

DTZ tends to really look after its long standing employees and is a pretty honest down to earth company when it comes to its clients

Cons

DTZ tends to look after its clients, often at the expense of their employees welfare and rights. The company has no concept of employees being an asset and therefore, there are very few benefits to working for DTZ. Paid maternal leave is non-existent, whilst there's a flexibility policy, they make no effort to accommodate employees (unless you are lucky enough to have a supportive client - then, the world is your oyster). Being in the client's good books is the key to surviving at DTZ - if your client doesn't like the look of your face, you don't tend to have a job for long. DTZ has a new "innovation" drive currently happening, or at least, it started happening and then just stopped. There were shiny booklets on how you as an employee can do better for the company but there's no substance behind it, there is nowhere to seriously go to with your innovative suggestions and at no point was there any acknowledgement that it takes two to tango - meaning that the company needs to pull its weight too if success was going to be achieved.

Pros

There is ample parking with a lot surrounding the building and two multi-level garages. Also, the Green Line has a T stop directly beside the building. Company specific there are zero pros.

Cons

Nonexistent leadership, out of touch managers, ridiculously politically correct working environment, performance review scores kept to mediocre ratings group wide as a matter of policy (and regardless of individual merit) to legitimize non-existent to below inflationary yearly salary increases… Also, the company has been bought out every year or so for the last several years with the constant changing of hands leading to massive layoffs (for example the entire IT department was outsourced to a foreign company recently) not to mention the market confusion of constant branding changes and a schizoid corporate mission and culture. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be expected to work unpaid overtime as a salaried employee but where you’ll have zero opportunity to get ahead despite your hard work and best efforts…than DTZ is the place for you.
