Pros

-Incredible talent pool. - For a consulting firm, the amount of in house resources are great - Extremely large room for growth. -Excellent bonus program. Bonuses can be very rewarding if you are willing to put in the time. -Traveling is not required but the option is always there. The company is now international and opportunities consistently present themselves to travel.

Cons

This is a fast growing company. As expected, it is sometimes difficult to keep up with the change in corporate policies.

Pros

Was hybrid with 1-day in office. Office was really nice. They provided free food.

Cons

Micro-managing like no other. Impossible to understand assignments and or be on the same page as supervisor. EVERYONE is related to each other in one way or another. Normally this would not be an issue, but there is no upwards progression unless you were a family or family-adjacent. Necessary processes for bonus eligibility, such as performance reviews, were inconsistent, unclear, and sloppy. Awful work life balance and your managers ensure to pass off their bad mood to you. The worst communication practices. Job role and duties are completely unusable if you are attempting to move out of Forensic Economics. Their HR is despicable and not there to help their employees.
