Pros

I love being part of J.S. Held. I feel appreciated and heard. My colleagues are awesome people who I can be open with and get their support and guidance when needed.

Cons

As every place, there is always opportunity for improvement. I believe the company can improve by investing even more in AI and automation. It is a challenging scenario but certainly a rewarding one.

Pros

Was hybrid with 1-day in office. Office was really nice. They provided free food.

Cons

Micro-managing like no other. Impossible to understand assignments and or be on the same page as supervisor. EVERYONE is related to each other in one way or another. Normally this would not be an issue, but there is no upwards progression unless you were a family or family-adjacent. Necessary processes for bonus eligibility, such as performance reviews, were inconsistent, unclear, and sloppy. Awful work life balance and your managers ensure to pass off their bad mood to you. The worst communication practices. Job role and duties are completely unusable if you are attempting to move out of Forensic Economics. Their HR is despicable and not there to help their employees.
