Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Russell Reynolds full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
They certainly take pride in ensuring the offices are aesthetically pleasing.
Cons
For a firm to offer diversity and inclusion and not have it within their own organization is appalling. African American colleagues are paid significantly less than their Caucasian peers. They are also severely mistreated by other consultants/ peers within their area. Due to the current issues with COVID, Executive Assistants are forced to work without noting their OT for fear of being "laid off". Expectations of EAs are not realistic and they are treated LESS than second class citizens.
