Pros

This is a great company to work for. I had many family and friends who work for large companies and complain of the bureaucratic non-sense, how you feel like a number, etc. But not here! Somehow they make you feel "human" and it all comes from the top. The people who work here are among the best in the industry, so its great to rub shoulders with the best and brightest. Everyone on the team is there to support you. Even if you're not in the same department and you reach out with a question, that person will do whatever needed to help support, find the answer, etc.

Cons

Nothing I can think of at the moment

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.
