A great place to work - Recensione dipendente - Specialist presso Peak Indicators

Great people with shared values, very social.

Taken over by a larger company that doesn't back up what they say with actions

Great company culture - very friendly, committed people some of whom are really technically talented (and respected within the Oracle ecosystem). A complete absence of company politics. Small company means decisions can be made quickly. A lot of personal responsibility given to those who ask for it. Good work/life balance for a consulting firm, surprisingly little travel. Standard of delivery usually good to excellent (a refreshing change from many consultancies). Highly approachable team of Directors. Strong Graduate training scheme (in fact, great scope for technical skills development at any level for people who are prepared to take the initiative).

Management roles not always clearly defined - people did whatever they thought needed doing. This worked most of the time but occasionally things fell between the cracks. Mix of very talented and hardworking staff alongside some who are rather more average can lead to tension. Occasional conflict between what consultants would like to be doing (Big Data etc) and what customers are prepared to pay for (mostly duller work). Tendency (albeit well-intentioned) to over-complicate things such as pay and performance assessment.
