Pros
- Our people are extremely talented and kind. All candidates are assessed against ideal team player characteristics, so our team is full of emotionally intelligent, ambitious, and humble individuals. Leadership exemplifies the same characteristics and everyone is very open to feedback. - We gain repeat clients because Bridgepoint is very much a relationship-focused company, putting the clients' interest first and delivering quality services. Our consultants are absolutely fantastic and handle some of the most complex projects for companies experiencing rapid growth/transformation. We're getting so many projects that we certainly don't have an issue keeping our team busy, but we are focused on growing our team to meet the needs. - There are a lot of great initiatives that have been rolled out in the last year focused on career pathing and development, DEI, communication, and resources. We're continuing to build on those this year and have added internal headcount to support those. We received an 84% engagement score on our annual employee survey (higher than industry average) and used employee feedback to shape our 2022 people focuses. - Leadership is transparent and uses quarterly company meetings to share company results and updates on initiatives. We have 5 offices (Austin, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Houston) and several employees working completely remote. There is a definite focus on building a hybrid, engaged workforce.
Cons
Not really a con, but room to mature processes and build out additional structure that will help the organization scale sustainably. This is part of the strategic plan and is being worked on, but employees at times may feel gaps and if those are not voiced, may cause frustration. We ask employees for feedback so we can remove significant immediate obstacles, and we ask for grace as we longer term work to fill and train those in leadership and support roles, standardize processes, and expand internal resources.
