Pros

As a very much startup company even after 10+ years of operations, Calibrate very much wants to operate and provide consulting services.

Cons

Calibrate Consulting fails on actually implementing those very same principles and processes internally. Jennifer Johnson is completely unprofessional. She feeds you southern charm but talks poorly about everyone behind their backs. I’ve heard her gossip about peoples race, work experience, weight, and how they aren’t even fit to be in the positions that she placed them in! Calibrate has an owner that’s a snake. Candidates and clients beware.

Pros

Ever read a book based on its cover? Looks are deceiving.

Cons

Calibrate may have decent ideas in a lagging industry but the company is by no means visionary. Leadership lacks the resources, patience, intellect and vision to empower its people. Incentives are promised at the onset and are taken away once payout comes around. Another review mentioned the owners a snake and can attest she’s a two-faced hypocrite with no competence on running a successful business as she’s too busy making sure she looks good in public. Beware potential employees that you won’t get your bonus or fair wages and be undermined in your role.

Pros

- The company offers a fully remote work environment and strong benefits, including health coverage, PTO, and your birthday off. - Great opportunity to learn about the legal industry - Had the opportunity to work in several incredibly talented people

Cons

There are notable challenges that prospective employees should be aware of: Leadership structure is highly top-heavy, creating significant inequities between executives and junior staff. Promotions and recognition often appear to be driven by favoritism rather than merit, and while the company claims to support work-life balance, overtime and weekend work are frequently expected. Junior employees are held to high standards of accountability for mistakes, while leadership is often excused from similar expectations. There is also a lack of a clear competency framework, which has resulted in unqualified individuals being placed in leadership roles. Senior leadership frequently relies on junior employees to handle basic tasks, exposing gaps in expertise at the top. High turnover is a recurring issue, with employees being terminated without notice and new hires brought in arbitrarily. Leadership often avoids accountability, and operations staff are repeatedly hired and fired without clear reasoning. Another significant concern is the absence of an HR department, leaving employees without a safe or structured avenue to voice concerns or seek support. This, combined with constantly shifting team structures and compensation models, contributes to an ongoing sense of instability. While the company outwardly promotes a culture of “support” and “collaboration,” the internal experience often feels inconsistent with these values. Additionally, there have been instances of mishandling candidate and client relationships, which raises ethical concerns and impacts the company’s reputation. For those considering a role here, it’s worth approaching with caution and asking thoughtful questions about leadership expectations, team dynamics, and long-term stability. Understanding these dynamics beforehand can help ensure that the opportunity aligns with your professional goals.
