Pros

Flexible time Most of the working areas have a good work environment Annual adjustment of salary

Cons

The company is really strict about cyber security, and it made me anxious to think I am going to make a mistake regarding that area because they are always remembering us all the consequences and testing us. I understand is important but is something i do not like. The company is huge, and you sometimes feel you do not know what we do despite the efforts of the company to share everything.

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.
