Implement is not for everyone! - Recensione dipendente - Management Consultant presso Implement Consulting Group

Misalignment with Stated Values and Culture: During my tenure at Implement, I found that the proclaimed culture didn't match the reality. Despite the emphasis on a positive culture, the atmosphere felt insincere. It's disappointing to witness a facade of friendship dissolve into mere pretense. While one would expect this behavior from larger consulting firms like MBB, it's disheartening to encounter it in a consultancy that touts a commitment to authentic culture and a humanocracy approach. The purported philosophy of "both and" appears ineffective in fostering genuine people-focus and growth. Lack of Diversity and Inclusion: Diversity and inclusion seem lacking at Implement, with most individuals coming from similar backgrounds and pre-existing connections. This homogeneity creates challenges, particularly for introverted individuals and internationals, who struggle to find their place within the organization. Moreover, staffing decisions appear to be influenced more by favoritism than by skills, further exacerbating the issue. Centralized Power Dynamics: Implement's governance structure concentrates significant power among a select few, leading to decisions being made within the opaque confines of the owner group. This centralized control can create an atmosphere reminiscent of 'big brother is watching you,' where all interactions are scrutinized in front of this group. Consequently, individuals may feel constrained, as even personal attributes like appearance can seemingly influence one's standing within the organization, creating an environment where dissent or individuality may not be tolerated.
