If you value your personal life, don't work here. - Anonymous employee Godfrey Dadich Partners Employee Review

We wanted to take time before responding to this post to reflect on everything said but to also discuss internally how we can ensure others don’t leave GDP feeling the same way. We want to start by saying that we are very sorry to hear about your experience at Godfrey Dadich Partners. The truth is that we have been growing quickly. And with growth comes growing pains. And some of those growing pains contribute to people working longer hours than we would like—leaving them feeling stretched too thin. As we scale we are constantly working to make sure our team members have the support they need to create great work but also to feel a sense of balance in their lives. It’s an ongoing battle that most firms face but we want to be better than most firms. In the first half of 2021, we instituted “Focus Fridays” wherein, every Friday of every week, we eliminate meetings, Slack correspondence, and Zooms. It’s a day for people to do whatever they need to do to refill and recharge. Sometimes that’s tackling a project that has been on the back burner and sometimes that’s going for a hike. We have also hired a new resource manager and are taking a hard look at how we scope projects to ensure that we can handle the work from a bandwidth perspective. We truly appreciate all feedback and will continue our focus on making Godfrey Dadich Partners a great place to work.
