Pluspunten

- Some of the individuals were nice

Minpunten

- Work life and personal life balance - Never enough work to maintain an adequate UT *Therefore the work environment was very competitive *There were too many big and unjustifiable egos (e.g. just because you are a "Managing Scientist/Engineer" and have a high UT for managing a Principal's case load (e.g. glorified administrative work) does not mean you are a stellar scientist or engineer) - Work that was available to maintain a UT was not interesting (e.g. deposition summaries) - Penalized for trying to find work because marketing for work was not billable - Salary - NEVER received a raise - Expensive and very poor health insurance - Did not value scientists or engineers who valued the scientific process or scientific principles *This was a factory for recruiting individuals with graduate degrees to then just churn out hours to make money for the firm *The company meetings always focused on revenue and outstanding AR

Pluspunten

Diverse work, intelligent and ambitious colleagues, above average compensation package for newly minted PhDs. Giving 2 stars simply because of these perks.

Minpunten

Extremely poor work/life balance, high pressure on billable hours/utilization, cutthroat/burn-and-churn culture, weak management, poor mentorship opportunities (didn't feel inspired by many leaders), sink-or-swim onboarding (I think this has changed a little since I left), ton of gatekeeping around promotions, and worst of all.... there's very little humanity present in the culture. Almost everyone I knew didn't fundamentally feel as if their office, practice, and/or manager cared about them as a human. Bad managers get promoted so long as they're revenue generating. I would not recommend this company to be a person's first choice.
