Pros

At Kroll, the individuals who carry out the work are skilled, dedicated professionals. There is a degree of flexibility in how tasks are completed, allowing for autonomy in approach.

Cons

Senior management and leadership—meaning anyone above those who actually perform the work—are a caricature of what competent leadership should be. Picture a management consultant stepping into a top role. Surround them with unquestioning supporters, and you begin to grasp the consultant experience at Kroll. Shareholder interests reign supreme at all times. Compensation packages fall short of industry standards, with promised bonuses never materializing. Regardless of your dedication or achievements, salary increases are near solely dependent on maintaining the right connections rather than merit.

Pros

It can give interns their first glimpse into Fortune 500 client work. One of the few opportunities that directly seeks after political science students.

Cons

I had a terrible experience with most managers. They had a tendency to openly question the intelligence and professional capabilities of interns; mind you, undergraduate and graduate students, which is the worst thing for someone in that stage to hear. When I pushed back on a manager who questioned my intellectual ability to do analytical work, I was labeled as combative and almost fired. As a result of my vocality, certain managers pretended like I didn't exist to them, something I still find traumatic in hindsight this day. I know other interns and externs were also openly told they didn't have the intellectual ability to perform their work at a high level.
