Learn a lot fast - don't expect work life balance.

Pros

KLD has some very knowledgeable people on both the technical side and management. Great people! You can learn a lot at KLD and management works hard with you. There are some solid folks in SR management as well as some excellent mid level managers. You can learn a LOT working with some of the best tech folks in the business.

Cons

Some large acquired companies have not been entirely integrated leading to technical stumbling blocks and barriers between groups that can cause some real headaches. Very little work life balance. The collaborative environment I enjoyed pre-acquisition changed to a more top down, paranoid, CYA culture. There is a high risk of burnout, particularly among project and mid level managers. Pay is low for the level of expectations.

Pros

First off, they care. Managers through exec team listen to staff and make adjustments to make the work easier. Never see that anywhere else in the industry. Teams are great, lots of good folks across the organization willing to help. Tons of growth, development, and responsibilities available to folks who want it. Never forced into anything, but also surrounded by a great support system when entering uncharted territory. Bonuses, yearly increases, peer awards, seniority awards, random days off- the list is endless with perks. It’s give and take though, the work can be heavy.

Cons

Industry is extremely demanding, can’t blame any company for that. Legal work is what it is. Could use more automation, but heading down the right path currently.
