Pros
Free hummus, good location downtown
Cons
Working here is chaotic enough due to the company having zero processes or long term plans. The projects are all short term contracts in a random mix of topic areas. However, the only thing candidates really need to know about this company is what the reviews here have been saying for years. The CEO is an abusive megalomaniac whose incompetence drives away smart hardworking people at all levels. As you can clearly gather from the activity on this site, the company is constantly undergoing dysfunctional cycles of mass exodus, followed by struggles to hire enough talent and pressure on employees to write fake positive reviews. Unfortunately, the CEO will never change and his excuses have spanned “I’m the [F word] CEO” to the charade that he just has “high standards”. He does not have standards, he has whims, and abuses employees who refuse to be intellectually dishonest by catering to them. Most of the company merely tolerates him and constantly wastes billable time figuring out how to work around his latest temper tantrum or unbelievably bad idea. And despite the ham handed attempts to undermine truthful reviews here, I have never heard anyone refer to his approach as “professorial”. The most common description (and this critic’s choice) is “toddler like”. Also, the people who leave are generally talented and experienced professionals who can handle criticism. They’re just tired of his constant hysteria. As the other reviews say, the CEO fans terrible rumors about current and former staff (highly inappropriate stuff like they’re going to therapy or were fired when they actually quit). He is especially unstable with women, to the point that some of the female staff ask not to meet with him alone, but he corners them privately anyway. There are absolutely no standard performance evaluations, let alone objective ones based on verifiable facts. Employees have tried countless times in good faith to approach these issues with him, but he denies any fault and simply doubles down. If you’re smart sane or a good person, don’t apply here. There are so many consulting shops in this town that offer more and do more. Nothing here merits putting up with all the spite and dysfunction.
