Outstanding Technical and Business Analysis Consulting Experience in Mid-Atlantic Region
Pros
Very flat organization with plenty of opportunity to advance and gain a breadth of solid experience with clients ranging from financial, insurance, and government IT/MIS projects. Genuinely works to build a positive and growth-oriented work environment for their employees. Maintains an aggressive bonus model and provides employees with competitive and slightly above-par benefits. Upper management is very open about changes and direction of organization. Less than 250 employees. Actively growing into new markets across the country and provides opportunities for employees to expand into more challenging roles in such expansions.
Cons
High burn-out potential. Doesn't reward self-improvement (training, education, conferences) that doesn't have a direct bearing on client sales even if it may have future benefit in positioning or forward-looking sales. Seemingly arbitrary employee review and reward process (re: annual reviews/bonuses). Managing board has a tendency to devolve into personality conflicts that spread into general employee base. Describes itself as a "consulting firm" but more often than not really is a staff augmentation that augments with teams vs. individuals. Being challenged by extreme growth in number of employees without an infrastructure or management model in place to maintain the agility that originally established them in the Richmond market space.
