Tough culture for women!

Pros

Smart people. They examine and live best practices.

Cons

Can almost feel robotic. The big irony is that an organizational development company struggles so much in creating a strong culture. There is a cult-like feel, and most employees seem ultimately unhappy in spite of great perks. It was terrible for women, at times outright sexist. There is a very high turnover.

It's disappointing to read this review and I'm sorry to hear that any person at Undercurrent felt that they were operating in a sexist environment. Undercurrent has worked hard to create generative difference at our company. Over the last year, we have implemented several policies in order to ensure that women and men have an equal voice and opportunity at Undercurrent from reaching gender parity in staff to disclosing our salary levels in attempt to ensure that both genders have the ability to negotiate their salaries. We practice holacracy at Undercurrent and half of our lead links our women. With this many strong, bright women at Undercurrent creating policies and inputting on how/what/where we do business, I am surprised that anyone would call this environment "outright sexist." I would love to speak with this person about their experience, so that I can learn why they felt as they did and share the learnings with the larger team. If they are open to dialogue, please use the love @ box.

Pros

I've grown so much in my time here. We have incredible access and relationships at some of the largest and most complex organizations in the world. Not every job gives a team 20- and 30-somethings the opportunity to advise C-level executives at Fortune 100 companies. With this level of influence, it's easy to have an outsized impact in the world. Every day, we change the lives of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of employees in our clients' organizations worldwide. The team is tremendous, and there's no person who I wouldn't be friends with outside of work. Good benefits, good perks, and a cool office.

Cons

You have to be self-directed, and finding your own path can be tricky at times. If you're not careful, work-life balance can quickly go away. Travel sometimes makes it hard to be present at home. Comp is lower than similar positions at top-tier consulting firms.
