Good people but poor management decisions.
|
|
No problem paying you while you're on the bench. Good benefits. Decent people to work with.
|
As with many consulting firms, some of the projects are tedious. They made some very poor management and staffing decisions that affected me adversely.

Get a new COO. They lost a lot of good people due to his gruff management style. Owner/founder CEO is a good guy. Don't try to be a big company - focus on what you do well and be profitable in your market.

An organization that doesn't value it's staff
|
|
There is a happy hour about once a year that I can't take part of as I work remotely.
|
Unstable company despite being in an explosive industry. Having a surprise lay-off 2 weeks before Christmas (2017) to right the books is inexcusable. A COO was brought on to right the ship 2+ years ago and his "below the line" behaviour has only been successful in firing his work force. Raises are nonexistent but empty promises run rampant from leadership.

Everything has been thrown against the wall with no results. The one constant throughout these years with no results is the leadership team. Any company worth their salt would look in the mirror and realize this.

Poor Leadership
|
|
Some really great people work here!
|
CEO and COO are extremely callous and disinterested in their employees unless you are in the clique. Frequent lay-offs. Last one I know of was ONE week before Christmas. No warning. Didn't have the decency to wait until the new year. The office space is a little embarrassing to bring clients into.

Nice place to work
|

If you work hard, you will soon become a star. Not a big company so everyone knows each other

Coworkers are more independent, less communication with each other

Big Opportunities and Diverse Consulting Experiences
|
|
It's a meritocratic environment where the highly-motivated and top performers can quickly create their own opportunities to advance in the organization.
Pretty diverse client portfolio that is dotted by a lot of big names which presents the ability to gain experience and apply data & analytics in a wide variety of business settings.
There's not a lot of red tape or bureaucracy, ideas are generally sourced from around the organization and everyone is encouraged to contribute in ways beyond day-to-day work.
|
Reflective of a smaller or growing company, processes that run smoothly at large companies can be frustrating here.
If you're not the type to be proactive and aggressive about your own career management you might become disillusioned.
It's a consulting firm in the end, and you need to put in the work to accumulate experiences that a place like this provides. That does mean travel, long hours, and demanding clients. It's definitely not an easy 9-5 type of job and if that's what you're after you probably won't do well here.

Failing Company With Failing Values
|
|
"fun environment" that does not lead to work getting done. The people are nice and friendly on the surface.
|
Leadership has no idea how to run a company, consistently lie or mislead their employees. Expects you to break their own code of conduct as well as other governmental regulations regarding passwords. Will never look at an employee over themselves or the client. Employees are expendable as long as they have a replacements (however with so few employees it is often hard).

Get new management. Current COO has no idea how to run a tech company. Most managers are completely clueless and have no idea how to manage their employees. Try training employees instead of giving them a stack of work and a due date.
