Pros

Like most the reviews mention. Should be treated as a stepping stone not a place to work your life. Put in 2 years, get Deloitte on your resume and then double your salary for half the work at a different company. Not sure if that even qualifies as a pro, the pro is basically maybe you will get a better job.

Cons

Two faced everything. The PR is work your way, open and transparent, the reality is the opposite. The performance review for employees is basically an Uber rating of everyone you worked with. They get to rate you on a sliding scale, and check the promotion box or not. Have had managers say they won't check that box unless xyz. So once or twice a year your coach will meet with management for 5 min to say yay or nay. You do not get to be a part of this meeting. It's all very secretive and soviet. I did not have an actual performance review, money talk until 2 years in June 2020. That was after saying Jan 2020 I will be quitting June 2020. Management waited until June 1st 2020 to offer me a jump from 57k-67k. Which is already annoying because I told my boss, do not waste my time with a bad offer, just tell me no instead than insult me If the offer is less than %15 I will not even consider . When I declined I was asked what It would take to stay, I said 100k (150 - 200k in reality) they laughed at me, but then I quit and their smiles changed quickly. They were about to deliver an important project and I had all the knowledge and had warned them multiple times it would be bad If it was incapacitated. I already had 2 offers for 100k from other firms. Managers illegally pressuring me not to go on sick leave, I considered suing after my civil servant friends explained to me how very illegal it is to say things like that. "You could go on sick leave but we will have to cancel project, and your performance review is coming up so...". A big 4 firm had to cancel project due to 1 BTA, what a joke. That was during the April - May period, and I would cry myself to sleep often. Told my managers point blank work is giving me suicidal thoughts, and to expect medical leave soon (once I put in my two weeks, I went on medical leave for those 2 weeks). They had the nerve to call me while on sick leave and ask if I would work. During that period and other periods working at the firm it was 9-9-6, maybe even 9-9-7 sometimes. Often will just take 3-4 weeks of billable/utilization and just put it to another non-utilized charge code. In my mind this is just blatant stealing, number manipulation, ghosting hours, etc. I don't know why the time entry is so strict if it's all going to be ghosted anyways. The other Devs I had to work with were all fresh grads who knew nothing, I often just had to do their work. I would not recommend working here to an enemy or a friend. They would have to be a pretty bad person for me to wish them upon them. People that work there as their career are pretentious and closed minded.

Hostile, Toxic Shark Tank

Pros

The benefits are really great, but don't count on being able to use your PTO at senior levels. The flexibility of working from home also works for a lot of individuals.

Cons

For a firm that prides itself on being a great place for women, a great employer, etc., my experience was that leadership creates a culture of fear, perfectionism, and toxicity that then ripples down through the ranks. People simply aren't nice to one another and women are especially brutal to one another. The 6 weeks of vacation I was afforded my first year might have been great if I'd been allowed to take it, but at senior levels, it's often not possible. Going to work every day was like swimming in a shark tank. I have never had a more brow-beating, self-centered manager in my entire career.

Pros

Dress code is almost non-exsistant. Sweatpants are acceptable everyday wear. The people in the New York office are all awesome people who I am still friends with even after my departure. One of the most flexible work schedules out there.

Cons

I hope this doesn’t have a word count because there are too many to name. For starters, there have been more than 15 people who have quit in the last few months and I think 2 people have been hired. That equals an absolutely insane work load for the rest of the people who stay. The upper management sits in a different office located in totally different state. They drag their feet making any sort of decision and their favorite line to use is “oh that’s a great point / question. I’ll get back to you” and of course they never do. Oh and the worst part is that they absolutely and ridiculously underpay you. So if you want a heavy work load without the compensation, this is the place for you. Even before people starting to make a mass exodus from BAL because they realized this place is horrific, the workload was still insane. Then they claim they can’t afford to give a salary bump to people who have been there for years. Unless you count a 2.48% annual pay bump (this is what they offered me after the annual review when I have 3 years of experience). One of the biggest partners of the firm who loves to show his face once in a blue moon is solely obsessed with planning parties. Which is all find and dandy except that they’re all mandatory and they are for the dumbest things. Example: BAL filed their “millionth” case since becoming a firm. OH but here is the kicker, that 1 millionth case was an LCA that was filed... aka they were counting “projects opened” on their god awful Cobalt system. So just like everything else BAL says, it was a load of you know what. Side note, the “cobalt specialist” at BAL is so unknowledgeable that you would get more information out of talking to a wall. The case work isn’t the only thing that’s unbearable though. The upper management is so incompetent that they keep making you re-do certain projects because they don’t know what to look for. The best part is that one of the biggest partners ADMITTED to not knowing what he/she was doing with asking for some of the work in the first place. If that doesn’t scream “I literally have no idea how to run an office” I don’t know what does. It’s like upper management is driving a sinking Titanic into another iceberg. So if you don’t want to be Jack, you should stay on land. Can I give less than a 1 star rating?
