Seattle Office -- Some Gaps - Recensione dipendente - Senior Consultant presso Protiviti

My observations: the Seattle leadership team 1) lacks a compelling strategy around technology consulting (outside of IT audit); 2) lacks the ability to retain experienced hires (immature management tactics at mid-level and zero 360 degree feedback vehicles); and 3) refuses to identify and invest in company/solution builders. Technology consultants and senior consultants are paid significantly below the market value. Ambitious, experienced hires in the TC space will lose career momentum due to a lack of growth opportunity outside of IT audit or working on the Microsoft account. The firm seems to value a rigid, hierarchical management structure and a centralized philosophy toward talent development and opportunity. This last point creates a notion among C1-S2 that one must "kiss the ring" of the 2 or 3 individuals within this office who call the shots.
