Jackson Spalding Reviews

I should've known from the lack diversity on my teams what I was in for. Another glaring red flag was the two connections I knew quit THE WEEK I STARTED. During the interview process, I asked what the onboarding process looked like and they claimed to be flexible. But when it came down to it, some members simply weren't good at communicating needs and yet they still expected you to "catch on". I had a really hard time adjusting and felt really alone, especially since we were working from home and I had no rapport with anyone. They let me go (after the most strenuous interview process ever). And the worst part is, it was due to a client I didn't even initially interview for. Keep in mind that salary was under the market average and they settled at $5K under what I asked. I honestly think I just wasn't JS material. I went on to immediately find a job that checked off every box I had and affirmed me that after that whirlwind experience, I wasn't crazy.

Salary. I was amazed how much more I was offered after leaving. I now realize my raises were higher bc they paid so little. If you are a person of color, know the diversity is lacking. It’s actually scary that a company in downtown Atlanta can have so few black people. There’s a reason for this and it starts from the top down who have said repeatedly that they can’t find talent. Meanwhile recruits at UGA and Auburn repeatedly. For a mid-career or senior black person, the micro aggressions aren’t worth it. They don’t really trust their employees. Time tracking is done and edited by the quarter hour and managers nickel and dime budgets. They want ppl in office, always have and do so under the guise of collaboration. It’s actually for oversight. Salary. Hours are long - 8:30-5:30 last I checked. That’s an extra hour on a 9-5 and they actually try to enforce it. Not ideal. Vacation and holidays are bla and anytime someone mentions it they lay out how much money it would cost to close as if that’s our fault. Constantly tries to justify lackluster benefits and billable expectations by comparing to other companies.
