Vantaggi

Nice, modern offices and friendly corporate culture, at least on the surface. If you are working in a core segment (insurance assessors, economic damages), they have plenty of work and a good reputation> The CEO seems like a nice guy in way over his head.

Svantaggi

Incompetent leadership and massive waste of employee talent, leading to unnecessary layoffs. The company leadership clearly does not understand the businesses of many of its acquisitions and has effectively prevented deal-making and marketing of the firm's new service lines. Many teams are very top-heavy, with MDs twiddling their thumbs or playing solitaire while they are both unable to sell or do work on their own. If you work there you will probably be fired through no fault of your own and then asked to sign a highly restrictive NDA in exchange for a relative pittance. It is also a very white company with leaders that have shown themselves to be ignorant of the world outside the United States on multiple occasions. Embarrassing and unacceptable if they are going to compete with the big names internationally.

Vantaggi

Was hybrid with 1-day in office. Office was really nice. They provided free food.

Svantaggi

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.
