Vantaggi
MGT Consulting is a growing firm that is committed to the public sector but also explores related opportunities in other areas. The glue that holds everything together is a commitment to driving change and impacting communities. The firm is open to exploring new markets, has dedicated experts in its areas of focus, and is activity championing diversity and inclusion. Its focus on a diverse workforce is not lip service. MGT finds individuals who are committed to serving the public sector and really good, hardworking people. There is also more collaboration that one might typically find at consulting firms and active discussion about work/life balance and risk/reward. There is a lot of opportunity.
Svantaggi
Though MGT has been around since the 1970s it has gone through a lot of evolution/change. Some of the internal infrastructure needs improving to ensure that the firm can sustain and support growth. Much gets passed to consulting staff because there may not be corporate staff to fulfill a need which can result in divergent practices. The firm is also working at training up newer staff and providing opportunities to more junior staff - the intent and desire is there but it does require some change in practices. And, most of the workforce is remote, so like other firms with remote staff there needs to be extra effort put in to sustain company culture and not create separate cultures between office based and remote staff. COVID-19 has obviously made this task harder.
