Pros

I like what I do. My schedule is super flexible and gives me the opportunity to fit in other non-work related things to my calendar. If I want to grab lunch with a friend during the day, I can do that, so long as I have my work phone with me and I can respond to clients in a reasonable time. There are many more pros as well, just skim through these reviews.

Cons

Depending on the time of year, work can get busy. Sometimes I will be asked to spend weeks at a time away from home, so if you don't like to be away or have young children, this could be a challenging position.

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.
