Kroll reviews

Every week, I think to myself "just get through one more week." Absolute sweatshop, below market pay, inefficient delegation of work, excessive red tape, and no culture. Recently acquired by Permira, who is clearly trying to squeeze every last cost at the expense of employee satisfaction, and upper management could care less because they're still rolling in money. Lots of turnover is sure to ensue, in addition to all the layoffs that have recently taken place. Managing directors have no respect for work life balance, and the amount of petty drama that happens between MDs is reminiscent of middle school.

If you are being recruited by Complex Asset Solutions (CAS), be aware that the group (particularly RMBS) tends to keep you for only a couple of years and then they will find reasons to terminate you. First they will put you on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) saying that you are deficient in certain categories (it doesn't matter to them if it's a lie or not). They will give you time to "improve" after which they give you an ultimatum either leave under certain terms that they define or you can stay and take your chances at being terminated later which is sure to happen. RMBS at CAS has become a revolving door because of the two managers who run it. It's a very demoralizing culture and environment to be in.
