Pros

TAS work life balance is favorable to competitor lifestyle. Good exposure to generic and small high level M&A deals.

Cons

No industry depth, can't keep people who have these quals. Management will take it personal and act childish when you leave the firm, regardless of your tenure or production to their pockets. Bonuses are essentially nonexistent, even with directly contributed double digit annual revenue growth. Complete inequality, leadership should be embarrassed. They burn bridges with top talent departures, even when people leave to far better career paths. Such a shame to do this, very nearsighted, immature, and selfish. Many alumni feel this way and will never forget. A few individuals to show their true colors ruined everything.

We are glad to hear that you had a favorable experience with work-life balance while at Riveron. We strive to be a family friendly firm. Riveron was pleased to pay out significantly larger bonuses this year than in the past due to the updated 2017 bonus plan. We value your feedback as it relates to your departure and it is unfortunate you feel this way after 5 years with the firm. If you would be open to discussing your experience, we would appreciate the feedback for continued improvement. Thank you, Riveron.

Pros

Decent swag and they have education stipends. Allows remote work which was very appreciated.

Cons

Too political and heavy on finger-pointing rather than collaboration. Blame often falls on inexperienced staff for issues beyond their control, while "who you know" (especially in the Texas office) dictates accountability. Additionally, the US team’s subconscious bias toward the India team creates a counterproductive and unwelcome environment. It ultimately feels like a fend-for-yourself environment. When performance is evaluated, support is limited unless you’ve already proven you can meet management’s demanding, often unrealistic, expectations. This makes it especially difficult for early-career professionals to learn and grow. The focus tends to be more on maximizing billable hours than on development or quality of work. In some cases, there has even been pressure from multiple managers to inflate timesheet entries to improve the appearance of performance and increase client billing, despite work being completed efficiently. These expectations were consistently communicated verbally rather than documented, raising serious ethical concerns and making the situation even more discouraging.
