Pros

Focal Point has been a great company to work for. I feel valued and am respected by my peers and leadership. Outlook: strong. Focal Point is in heavy growth mode right now. With investments from the board, the company is investing in new talent, technologies, and capabilities. Communication: Open line of communication to senior leadership. Clear communication on the direction of the company from leadership (just as important). Your ideas, whether an individual contributor or leader, are listened to, discussed, and potentially implemented. Recognition/Growth potential: Focal Point is growing as a company and as such, are investing in its current employees. Great ideas are awarded and encouraged. High performance is also recognized and awarded. Employees are encouraged and assisted with personal growth and skills enhancement.

Cons

One of the "cons" at Focal Point are 'siloed' efforts. The different practices in the organization are just starting to work together (lead by senior leadership) but there is still a good deal of progress to be made.

Pros

Great culture, leaders, and engagements. I got the chance to interact with executives for fortune 1000 companies and develop my skills that were a foundation to jump start my career. The leaders in the Miami market are really devoted to see you succeed and will train/teach you along the way.

Cons

Pay was average compared to other competitors

Pros

There are some nice people who work hard and mean well. The company pays for two professional subscriptions per year. They may reimburse for some professional exams but this seems to be on a case by case basis. There is potential to learn and take lead as most teams are understaffed and need someone to get the job done.

Cons

Extreme amount of turnover (think up to 50% depending on which practice you join) makes it hard to get anything meaningful done. Can barely deliver a service worth being proud of due to everyone quitting or being unqualified or prepared for the projects. Other outside consultants and auditors barely take us seriously.... it's hard to stand behind the level of service we provide and hold your head high. Pays less than all other competitors. Extremely cheap company especially for one that is over 10 years old and parading around as a start-up. When most people leave the company they usually leave for a lateral or below lateral position.... titles here are just titles and taken with a huge grain of salt in the job market. Company is owned by a private equity firm and is being groomed for sale. It's almost a shell of a company providing the cheapest product possible in order to appease the private equity firm that owns us. I'm not sure who would buy a pseudo tech start up headquartered in Tampa, Florida. Sounds like a risky investment to me. This company has shady vibes that are palatable to employees as well as people outside of the company. Good luck interviewing for your next job (this will inevitably happen) when nobody has heard of this place.
