Employee Reviews
- “The firm is definitely dedicated to helping out with work/life balance for big events, life milestones, and other items of that nature. Of course, there are some restrictions for when time can be taken off based on your role and deadlines, but that is just the nature of the industry. If you need time off for something during this timeframe, though, the firm is very helpful with making things work.”

- “Obviously, busy season isn’t great, but it’s much better than at previous firms I have been at. The firm is very understanding of personal/family time and has no issue with leaving the office a little early and logging back on to work in the evening (all within reason of course).”
- “A lot of PTO time allowed, reasonable busy-season expectations, flexible working schedule, flexible dress policy, meals provided during busy times. However, PTO usually has to revolve around non-busier times, even after busy season, and when you’re off, there are so many emails that come through internally and externally that it’s hard to mentally relax.”
- “They are very supportive of major life events and allow a wide range of flexibility based on your own level and ability to complete the work timely. Post-Covid, there seems to be no ‘off’ period in which you can’t be contacted via teams. I’ll get random messages/requests at all hours of the night.”
