Kroll reviews

- Lack of mentoring and accountability make it difficult for one to advance in their career; however, one will likely advance at Duff & Phelps due to tenure. - Environment of "get it done" instead of "get it done properly." - Management is not forthright (or is uncomfortable) providing constructive feedback, which is self-perpetuating and ultimately causes "bush league" work to be produced. - Recent acquisitions lack cohesive vision, other than they will "grow the practice and expand our presence." - Below market bonus. - If you are a true investment banker, don't forget that Duff & Phelps is a valuation firm.

- Too much overhead in the form of non-revenue employees - Can lose sight of the big picture as they cut corners on trivial things like computer supplies, yet have admin staff sitting around with nothing to do - The sky-high rates and long hours equal HUGE revenues, but don't seem to flow down Jr. Mgmt and staff. Someone's getting paid (MDs?EC? Shareholders?). - Staffing can seem like organized chaos as no one is sure what is two weeks down the pipeline and what they will be working on. - Hiring cannot keep up with work coming in because they rely on internal referrals or dumb luck of people finding the listing on the website.
