BAL is a very diverse place by any standard, but people who thrive here share a few characteristics: We are smart, intellectually agile, and quick to pick up new skills. We think strategically. We thrive in a fast-paced environment. And we love the work we do and are passionate about the level of service we deliver in performing our work.
BAL is also a very different kind of firm. It’s a demanding environment because the work we do is so critically important, but our culture is relaxed, helpful, and team-oriented. We take our work seriously, but we also place an emphasis on collegiality and fun. BAL is not a stuffy firm. We are a community and the people who work here feel that from day one. We ask a lot of people, but we give a lot in return: competitive salaries (including periodic bonuses) and great benefits as well as the opportunity to work on a critical business need for some of the world’s most prominent companies. We offer ample opportunities to build a career at BAL.
