Pros

They try to emphasize a positive work culture. You can work remote and there are some great teammates. Explore new ediscovery tools, specialized groups, and proprietary innovations are a plus. Flex PTO options.

Cons

Directors and managers are not expected to understand the day-to-day processes and workflows. Promotions for each job level are limited to a certain number each year, not necessarily merit based. Understaffing is on purpose and part of their business model. 7-day work weeeks are expected at least 3 months out of the year, some positions work 7 days a week, every week. Bonuses vary from year-to-year or are infrequent. Raises are below inflation for non-promotion years. Over time, you make less and less money compared to industry standards. Expectation of hours and availabilty can change suddenly. Was not family friendly during Covid.

Pros

Before the last mass layoff there were active strides being taken to review and help employees reach goals within their respective departments, as well as available advancement opportunities.

Cons

Unfortunately not enough business was drummed up and most of those programs I'm sure have been put to rest. The last layoff did not appear to be a simple "trimming off the fat" effort but more a survival decision. This is not the only time this kind of layoff has happened in this company. Now the remaining workers have to strain to maintain deadlines and can't even enjoy breaks with each other anymore while management breathes down their necks. A potential employee will not find job security in this kind of work environment.

Pros

Great PTO and WFH. Amazing people i worked with. Truly the reason I stayed as long as I did. The PAC (HR) team js helpful and cares.

Cons

Layoffs are every year. You need to be billable but sales staff has been decimated. I pretty well knew I was next to be chopped. Since the CEO change, it has been down hill. Management changed and it went from feeling welcome to feeling like a burden. Leadership has changed a lot and has become distant and cold. I went from feeling like I was valued to just being low hanging fruit for an easy cost cut while the leader got promoted.
