Pros

KrolLDiscovery KLD is a company where an ambitious individual with grit can advance in their career. If you want something step up and take it. There is an emphasis on teamwork and most teams are close knit. Chris Weiler is very generous and makes incredible oppurtunities available for individuals that cross his path. Benefits are pretty good and training is available if you ask for it.

Cons

While there is room for advancement you can only advance so far without knowing the right people whether that is a member of senior management or someone that is close to a member of senior management. Teams are siloed. Great comradary within teams but not so much across teams. You can be a leader if you excel at your craft but aren't an effective leader. About 1/4 of management fits that description. There is no work life balance period. The company prides themselves on being 24/7/365 and they take that very seriously. Top down management style throughout the company. Everyone was ill prepared for the Kroll acquisition and moral has suffered since. It will take some time to work through that.

Pros

HR department was decent to deal with.

Cons

- Lack of focus on strategy, seemingly endless shifts in priorities week to week, month to month, year after year. Not congruent change, not progressive change, but chaotic disorienting change. - Upper management claims to have an absolute "No A-holes" policy, claims to want to encourage cooperation and growth. Then turns around and is fully complacent with obviously toxic behavior from people in positions of authority, especially technical authority. These toxic interactions gradually wore down people's desire to engage.
