Pros

Great people to work with, from partners down to associates Awesome administrative team Good pay and benefits

Cons

Operations leave a lot to be desired: awful implementation of new time entry, expense entry, and billing systems. What little training provided was either canceled and never rescheduled, or the format was poor. Basically no one knows how to do anything efficiently. Since Covid there has appeared to be a hiring freeze on administrative staff. Heavy workload is unfairly spread amongst only a few Executive Assistants, causing a lack of work-life balance and burnout after monthly deadlines.

Pros

A great place to work. Ethical leadership and very educated and motivated coworkers. I was proud to work here.

Cons

Sometimes certain managers on projects may not be up to par. However, a good partner will weed them out eventually.

Pros

The remote/hybrid work environment provides a good level of flexibility and work-life balance. The health insurance benefits are decent, and the firm offers a generous holiday schedule.

Cons

Compensation is low relative to the workload and expectations. Employees who leave are often not replaced, resulting in their responsibilities being distributed among remaining team members. This has led to increased workloads, burnout, and a feeling of being overworked and underpaid. Frequent budget cuts create additional challenges by limiting resources and support while expectations continue to increase. The 401(k) match is also significantly below what many comparable firms offer. Overall, morale has suffered as teams are expected to do more with fewer people and fewer resources.
