I have potentially 3 job offers: A&M Dispute & Investigation, Kroll Expert Services, and EY Forensic (internal transfer). Have seen many people talking about A&M vs EY, but how about A&M vs Kroll? How is the reputation of each of the 3 firms in this practice? How long does a project typically last (a wide range is ok)?

All 3 range a lot in terms of projects, people, and culture/work environment from office to office so it depends where you are.

In terms of reputation within forensics :
A&M > Kroll > EY

Depending on the office, A&M will likely be disputes heavy, Kroll will be investigations heavy, and EY will lean toward insurance and compliance work

In terms of general reputation of the firms as a whole (all service lines) EY obviously has the biggest brand given their sheer size as a Big 4 audit firm. But A&M has the stronger reputation in certain focus areas like forensics, M&A, restructuring, and certain areas of management consulting. Kroll is more niche and pretty much purely focused on forensics and valuation.

There’s also pay to consider. I’m not exactly sure where Kroll falls but I know they pay more than EY. And A&M pays more than both

A&M is less office dependent than MD dependent. There are MDs who do nothing but forensic accounting investigations, and those MDs have staff all over the country. At A&M, you don’t really join an office. You join a team.

Kroll is a very high quality and well managed organization

I’d take A&M over internal transfer for a few reasons. Your variety of work has a chance to be greater as does the pay. I don’t much about Kroll.

Office means a lot for all this offers. Kroll will be smaller projects, smaller clients smaller shop, A&M lot of dispute work some investigations, EY more investigations. Transfer internally and you can always jump if you don’t like it.

I wouldn’t say it’s a lot of insurance claims as those are completely different from the FEMA work. But to EY2’s point, since the deadline did last hopefully we’ll get more work in for investigations, disputes, insurance, etc. I think I speak for everyone when saying we’ve all had enough fema work for a while
