Forensic Consultant

Pros

Good variety of projects. Meet new people when new projects come up. Learn how to become a forensic consultant (for future opportunities). Learn about legal system. Travel.

Cons

Unrealistic goals. Tons of rules that are mostly unenforced (until something goes wrong, and then the rules come alive - why didn't you follow rule x, and y, and z?). Only way to meet billable goals is too ignore many rules to save time - otherwise you need to bring sleeping bag. Work long hours with no OT pay. Low ethical standards. Badmouthing of management and others is rampant. Mucho foul language and 'I'm a tough-guy' talk. Lots of BS about bonuses that never seem to happen. Managers in Houston have macho redneck mentality. Generally not a good place for minorities or women. Low morale.

Rimkus Response

We regret that your stay at Rimkus did not live up to your expectations. We are working hard to improve in areas that will better engage and retain our employees. As you noted, there can be a high demand placed on certain billable employees in order to meet client needs, which can result in overtime. But that effort does not go without reward. We have a semi-annual incentive bonus plan in place, as well as an annual discretionary profit-sharing bonus. What's more, our workplace demographic grows increasingly diverse every day, resulting in our female and minority employees being placed into engineering and leadership roles faster than ever before. There's no room for a "redneck" mentality at Rimkus. We are a progressive employer who cares about the success of our company and our employees!

Mixed Bag, great pay, poor office culture

Pros

Work was varied and interesting. Pay was great.

Cons

Office culture was very good old boy with a dash of fratboy thrown in. Lots of male ego and swagger thrown around the office. Poor communication of goals and expectations. Wasn't given utilization expectations until months after starting, even though my performance was being measured by these metrics. Poor feedback communications. Only receiving feedback weeks/months after the fact. Criticized for mistakes in projects that I never worked on or were assigned to. Particularly egregious given that the billing system lists exactly who performed what on a project. Paid monthly.
