      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Provided a good amount of training and hands-on experience, opportunity to work on complex, sometimes cutting edge investigation work

      Cons

      Old boys club, required greater than 100% billability but also required non-billable H&S training, top-heavy organization, needlessly stressful managerial style, "bonuses" for working overtime were gift certificates to company store -- overall, bad culture with lots of mistrust between "lower level" employees doing the work and "higher level" managers supervising

      Great people - Leadership challenged

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very smart people who care deeply about their work and their clients

      Cons

      Leadership is struggling with growth given the partnership structure. They struggle to implement important strategies. While they pay lip service to the people development aspect it is not well implemented. A small number of partners are very very well compensated without adding a great deal of value...stuck in what they did in the past. New leaders are poorly compensated but deliver most of the value

      Global vision of the company is good, Atlanta office not so good

      Pros

      As a global firm, this is a good place to get experience working on a variety of projects. They are very safety conscious and encourage employees to be aware of surroundings when working offsite. They give money to help environmental programs overseas. I definitely was impressed by the leadership outside of the Atlanta office. They really seemed to want to get junior staff plugged into cutting edge projects.

      Cons

      Leadership in Atlanta would refuse to communicate with staff, local HR representative told me very blatantly that I was "a trouble maker" for asking for constructive criticism and bringing up gender/salary questions. Many people left the same year I did because local leadership performed unethically and made allowances for behaviors by staff which was offensive and against corporate policies. They expect you to be "100%" billable which means working in excess of 50 hours or more. In December I worked two 80 hour weeks and was not given a day off or compensated financially afterwards.
