Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Huron Consulting Group full-time for more than a year
Pros
- You'll rack-up a lot of air miles and hotel points. - If you don't have friends or family and want to work 24x7 you'll do great.
Cons
- Work-life balance is non-existent. They tout the unlimited vacation but you will never truly get to "sign-off". - Management will start an engagement before the right resources are available which leads to people working multiple projects. - Values are talked about a lot but never lived. Quality is not important.
Advice to Management
Hire skilled functional consultants rather than just seat fillers. Scrap unlimited vacation.

"Toxic Environment"
StarStarStarStarStarDoesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Huron Consulting Group full-time
Pros
Benefits for 401 k and vacation time.
Cons
Environment and poor work life balance. The leadership in marketing among the directors is very poor and created a toxic work environment.
Advice to Management
Find new leadership at the director level and above for the marketing department.
