Pros

Challenging assignments and a collaborative environment. The company values quality service to the client. Employees are encouraged to grow professionally. You are given a lot of freedom to manage your work independently but resources are available to support you when needed.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly so reorganizations and changing in company systems and infrastructure should be expected.

Pros

Was hybrid with 1-day in office. Office was really nice. They provided free food.

Cons

Micro-managing like no other. Impossible to understand assignments and or be on the same page as supervisor. EVERYONE is related to each other in one way or another. Normally this would not be an issue, but there is no upwards progression unless you were a family or family-adjacent. Necessary processes for bonus eligibility, such as performance reviews, were inconsistent, unclear, and sloppy. Awful work life balance and your managers ensure to pass off their bad mood to you. The worst communication practices. Job role and duties are completely unusable if you are attempting to move out of Forensic Economics. Their HR is despicable and not there to help their employees.

Thank you for your positive comments about the office and the hybrid structure, as we strive to provide a flexible work environment. We take concerns related to management, communication, career progression, and workplace practices seriously and regularly evaluate our approach to ensure clarity, consistency, and alignment across teams. As with any professional environment, feedback is essential. Team members have access to multiple avenues to raise concerns including having open dialogue with their managers, reporting through our secure and anonymous ethics and compliance hotline located on the intranet homepage, emailing HR@jsheld.com, and reporting through other formal avenues so that each scenario can be reviewed, and team members feel heard and supported.
