Vantaggi
- Comp tends to be higher for equal positions at Big 4 and/or other major consulting firms (includes quarterly bonuses) - Benefits are some of the best I've seen (10% 401k match, personal tech (home Internet, cell phone, etc.) monthly reimbursement allowance, etc.) - Annual corporate retreat for employee and a +1 (3 nights / travel and accommodation paid for by firm) - Ability to travel internationally, but only if you're interested (I've been to about 15 countries in 5+ years at the firm) - Firm transparency. We have "all hands" calls every 2 weeks where senior management and operations discuss any firm updates, including methodology, technology trends, financial performance, etc. - Open door policy with senior management (which actually exists). Partners are easily accessible / approachable by all employees, regardless of rank
Svantaggi
- Akin to other firms in the consulting / client service industry, this isn't a 9-5 job. Be ready to put your time in to make an impact and move up the ranks here. If you're willing to do that, this place is for you as hard work doesn't go unrecognized and there's no "red tape" / "bands" preventing employees from being promoted who consistency produce quality work product. - (Possibly a Pro): high-expectations for entry level employees. You'll be in a 3 month training period where you'll be paired with other senior associates and/or managers, but after that, you're expected to be a big time contributor to our practice. - (Also possibly a pro): we have a non-traditional "office" environment. Service delivery personnel (outside of our headquarters city) either work at home, or are on-site at clients as we do not have regional offices. This provides some nice flexibility from commuting; however, if you're an "office person" this may be a difficult adjustment - Depending on your market, expect annual avg. of 50% travel (typically M-Th)
