I’m sorry you felt this way about your experience and it’s certainly not our intention to give off this impression. For many teams, the interview stages involve meeting with other team members to ensure they are involved in the team building process; emphasizing the importance of collaboration, support and collective growth. It’s true, we’re not like the Big 4 – we aren’t a multinational, but rather a proudly independent boutique firm that engages in specific mandates with a very select and discerning type of clientele. We place a great deal of trust and autonomy in each of our team members because a lot of professionals – even at the more junior level – have direct client involvement early on. The aim of this is to support career development and share knowledge with our team members as many in the Richter team started as summer students have grown to become partners and help us lead the firm in creative new ways. I’d be happy to chat more about this with you to understand better your point of view - there’s always space for improving that comes from consensus and understanding! If you wish to, please reach out to me at sbordenave@richter.ca Thank you, Sarah Manager, Talent Acquisition
