Pros

Great team environment on Client projects. Each client is a unique situation which keeps you on your toes and exposes you to new challenges - great learning environment. High variety of Clients. The importance of family and the work-life balance is very good. Career planning is regularly reviewed and training is encouraged. Really enjoy the culture Statera has created!

Cons

Majority of Clients are in south Denver

Thank you for the great review and being on the Statera team. This is Carl Fitch and I'm the CEO. I am proud of our team and our large and diverse client base. It is true that the majority of our Colorado clients are either downtown or in the Denver Tech Center. We also serve clients in other states. In fact, we did work in 26 different states while having our team travel less than 15% of the time. I promise we will keep talking to clients on the north part of Denver!

Poor leadership.

Pros

Only enjoyed working with many of the full-time consultants who worked there during this time, all of whom have since moved on.

Cons

The Sales leadership at Statera operates like an old boys club. They have a practice of hiring junior reps, giving them no mentoring or support, and then waiting until they find a big deal before squeezing them out and feeding the business to the sales managers (who carry a sales bag) or senior account executives who are "in the club". They will chase any type of work and will leverage contractors or prospective hires, and sales assets from practices that no longer exist to appear that they can do the work. If they win, they will staff these projects mostly with hourly or 1099 employees, so delivery is a major weakness. And be prepared to be let go if you're a consultant and hit the bench for more than a week. I know a few people who still work there today (2014) and it seems nothing has changed.

This is Marcelle Wall, Sales Director at Statera, who happens to be female. I've been with the firm for 6 & 1/2 years, and regret that I am just now seeing this post, as I would have responded to it sooner. I have to say that I can vehemently deny each and every point in this review of Statera. There are 6 sales reps on our team, and all of them are seasoned executives with a Client for Life commitment. We and our Consulting team members focus on delivering exceptional value for our clients within our highly evolved practice areas. Our methodologies, estimating models, accelerators and deliverables have been honed and perfected over 1000's of successful client engagements, and are what I believe to be our "insurance policy" for making our clients happy and referenceable. Also part of our secret sauce is using primarily salaried employees on the overwhelming majority of our client engagements. This ensures continuity for our clients. And on that point, we have the lowest turnover in our industry. We recruit, hire, invest in, develop and grow great talent; and in return they love the culture and stay here to work with all of our clients on all of our great projects. It is unfortunate that this individual has this opinion, but I certainly disagree, as I'm sure my colleagues also would.

Pros

The biggest pro here is pay and most of the consultants are great team players and are very talented. Unlike most companies, the C-suite are very nice people. They like being involved with their employees.

Cons

Middle management "Principles" are severely lacking in management skills. Some will take your ideas and claim them for their own. They think they know much more than you. When something goes wrong, it's your fault automatically without looking at the root cause. Politics is a game played very heavily here. They love to oversell to a client only to be told by their workforce it can be done with three times the effort. But that's your problem. Not theirs.

From, Bill Gilbert (VP of Digital Transformation) - First, I want to thank our employees for open, honest and transparent feedback. As stated, we have a very talented consulting team and it is nice to hear that employees recognize the involvement from the C-Suite. Principal consultants are senior delivery resources skilled in solving customer problems and managing delivery teams. Each Principal consultant has strengths and weaknesses, but all have had much success in their careers in order to reach this level. Principal consultants at Statera are held to very high standards and are held accountable for their customer’s success. I am sorry to hear that a consultant had a bad experience working with a Statera Principal. Statera is committed to the highest standards and will work hard to hire, train and grow a remarkable consulting team; including remarkable Principal consultants!
