When it comes down to it its all smoke and mirrors

Pros

With the quality of some of the employees the company has the ability to really be one of the best in the industry. A small group of the employees really care about putting out a quality product. Most of the employees get along really well.

Cons

Product quality is abysmal at times and nobody who should know does. Those that do know don't care. Promises at the beginning of the job are amazing. "As people below you get promoted, you get promoted, lots of opportunity for growth, free snacks and beverages, you get your birthday off with pay, and more!" Then, the people below you don't get "promoted", they either get laid off (something the company swore it would never do), or they get laterally transferred to another job position, which isn't considered a promotion, thus you are entitled to nothing. Free snacks? There were, until the office manager insisted we were eating too much and started rationing. Oh, and the rationing applies to coffee as well. Employees are actually told how much coffee they can consume. The rest of the coffee is kept locked up and doled out each day. There are several offices though, and I don't know that all of the offices are treated the same way. Another review here mentioned company outings. These are now "dutch treat" and you pay your own way. It doesn't really feel like a company outing if I have to pay. Plus, the employees never get any input on what the outings are going to be. Bottom line, if you weren't one of the first ones hired (their buddies) or you aren't one of the "special" people they went out and courted, you are unlikely to go anywhere.

Well, the title of the post clearly isn't something to be proud of, is it? But, we can handle criticism here at BIA. Even though this particular employee was laid off from the document review team as part of a team adjust that is common in that part of our industry, that doesn't mean we'll ignore the comments - even those comments clearly made in anger need to be headed! We've looked at these issues, seen some truth in how certain individuals acted, and made the appropriate adjustments. While much of the comments are clearly a reaction to economically driven adjustments that impacted nearly every company in the world in 2008-2009, we think that the poster of this message would likely have a much different view of the Michigan operations five years on. If you only saw positive reviews here, you'd probably be asking yourself if these posting are real, right? We wish the poster all the best in their future endeavors and hold no ill will.

Pros

Good place to work, like the people, the pay is all right. There is a lot that can be learned here.

Cons

THe hours can be long but that is just how things are in this business. Some office politics.

Glad to hear that you enjoy working with BIA and value your team! The hours can be long, but what sector of the legal business doesn't have it's share of late nights? Since this posting, we've made some great strides in furthering our incentive programs - even instituting a monthly "WOW Award" program that lets employees single out others for above-and-beyond efforts and rewarding those recognized for those efforts. We see our employees more as one big family, and we're always looking to make BIA a better, more enjoyable place! We want every person on the BIA to jump out of bed each morning eager to start the work day!
