      Pros

      They will come across as a prosperous and growing company, offering you endless opportunities to grow your career (but won't mention the countless layoffs they have had in the past year+). The benefits are average- Health insurance is overpriced and the plans are subpar, but there are other benefits such as tuition assistance/reimbursement which are nice additions. The company culture was nice during the time there, but once you leave you realize its just for show. At least the days were enjoyable.

      Cons

      Many layoffs, the priority comes with acquisitions. The company is growing, but they have no loyalty to their employees. They will acquire 10+ companies in a year, but fire dedicated workers due to budgeting issues and then call it company growth when they net 10 employees.

      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.
