Pros

I love my career here. I love what I do and the people I work with. I enjoy being able to express my concerns and recommendations and being heard. Jon is a great leader. You'll work hard, learn, and become a valued part of the team here. A+.

Cons

The previous comments about the investment firm is true. It's the only thing I wish I could change about the company.

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.
