What does everyone think of Berkeley Research Group?

I'm applying for roles in economic consulting and management/strategy consulting and got an offer from KPMG Strategy recently. I have a superday invite from BRG, but it's on-site and I'm not really comfortable going because of COVID and stuff like that. Would I be losing out on anything? I have interviews with 2 other EC firms (CL and Brattle). 

 
I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

BRG is a solid Econ consulting firm that also does data analytics consulting.  I don't think there's a significant difference between them and Brattle and Compass Lexicon,  but I'm also not that much involved with the Econ Consulting world so I'm not exactly sure.

What's more concerning is how you aren't comfortable going because of COVID.  Assuming you are vaccinated, then what are you concerned about? It's been 18 months we gotta learn to live with this thing. I hate to say it but there will never be 0 COVID cases.  It will be around forever.
