Pros
Great work life balance - normal peaks and valleys, but no where near the hours of other consulting firms. Fantastic culture and interesting colleagues - not just people you can work with, but people you want to be friends with. Transparent approachable leadership - met the top 5 leaders in the company within the first 2 months of joining and see them at least once a year. Admirable values that respect the client and community - no billing unnecessarily, or volunteering services that aren't our strengths. Lots of emphasis on social giving and charities. Fun events - from recurring office events to the awesome annual shindigs Small close-knit market - ability to help shape and build the team and get to know everyone. Impressive growth trajectory as a company
Cons
Meaningful work - engagements tend to be high profile staff augmentation as the company works to grow exposure and move up market. (There are some teams working on case study worthy consulting work, but it's a minority of the company) Limited client base - partially driven by the Hartford market, partially driven by the fact that we are still growing here (trending positive in the past 6 months) Vacation is non-negotiable - however leadership is flexible in supporting consultant needs. Lack of process/formalized career path - I think this is a positive, but some folks miss the opportunity of knowing the rigid steps they need to hit to climb the consulting ladder Diversity of background - experience tends to be from consulting backgrounds, however, this has gotten much better in the past 6 months.
