5.0 of 5 stars
June 2017 | FORMER EMPLOYEE
- Amazing lack of internal competition- 50-60 hours a week is a realistic expectation- Great compensation- Good grad school placement
- Lack of non-grad school/data analytics exit-opportunities- Lack of client/expert interaction
Very competitive application process that includes a econ consulting version of a case interview. Great job for quantitatively-oriented individuals interested in law.

Culture, challenging work, exit opportunities
Hours can be bad at times
Cornerstone is an excellent career choice for an academically-inclined candidate. My coworkers are exceptionally intelligent and go on to/have graduated from top PhD and MBA programs, or go on to top data analytics roles or JD programs. It is a challenging, rewarding environment at a firm that is unique within its field.

Executive in Economic | San Francisco, CA | 2016 | VERIFIED EMPLOYEE
The ability to work with very smart colleagues and experts who are also extremely nice people.
The job can be demanding at times.
I would highly encourage anyone to apply as I would not really consider moving to a competing consulting firm.

My coworkers are great, and the work is intellectually challenging.
Volatile hours
It's really one of the best places to work out of college. You get to develop your skills in working in a team and with large datasets.
