Pros

Benefits and bonuses are great. You don't get access to the bonus until one year into employment though.

Cons

Ever since Richard Berman retired, the firm feels like a churn and burn location. With less than 20 employees, I've seen three employees let go in less than 6 months. Everyone seems overworked since they're understaffed and there isn't much direction from the partners on anything. There doesn't seem to be much professional growth, as most people here have had the same job title for a few years. The company values "being your own entrepreneur" but if you do things your way and not theirs, its wrong and they don't give you direction. They boast about how they don't micromanaging, but it's definitely on a more passive aggressive level instead. The firm also only allows one work from home day after 90 days of employment. Everyone seems like they're always working and work/life balance does not exist. You also only accrue 1.25 days of PTO per month and you don't get the week between Christmas and New Years off like most companies in the DMV area offer.

Pros

Working at Berman has been fantastic! Employees are driven and motivated and also incredibly friendly and supportive. Leadership is excellent—transparent, fair, and genuinely cares about employees. There are tons of growth opportunities here. You'll learn a lot really quickly and the work is super rewarding. Great company to work for.

Cons

Can't think of any - I really enjoyed working at Berman.
