Pros

Huron's healthcare practice provides a lot of training which is extremely helpful when entering healthcare consulting without previous industry experience. Until recently, they also did a great job of creating a fairly vibrant culture through the use of twice yearly company conferences (since pared down to once yearly). If you work in the "field", opportunities for advancement are great, though one could argue this owes largely to the attrition rate inherent to consulting. Employees are typically pretty fun to work with, which is helpful when you are spending 8+ months on engagements.

Cons

Neither salary nor variable pay are particularly great for the industry. It is not uncommon for folks to jump to a competitor for a 15-20% bump which they then maintain relative to Huron employees. While the CEO turnover a few years back was a good thing, the healthcare practice leadership has changed for the worse in my opinion. Several wonderful and influential MDs have left as a result. Vacation can be difficult to schedule as it can be hard for some managers to forecast busy periods effectively. All managers are not created equal, though this is to be expected anywhere.

Pros

Diversity, values employees, good company culture, interesting work

Cons

Relatively flat leadership structure can be a pro or a con, sometimes would be more useful to be more unified with toolset and project workflow. Nothing major for sure

Pros

Huron provides excellent learning opportunities and robust leadership training. The environment offers plenty of excitement, and the compensation and benefits packages feel fair. I also greatly appreciated the company's culture around community involvement, which allowed me to give back locally.

Cons

While the day-to-day work can be engaging, the organization severely stumbles when it comes to employee support and compliance. Specifically, management failed to go through the ADA good faith interactive process when accommodations were required. Furthermore, there is a troubling internal culture where calling out bad practices—even when those practices could directly hurt clients—results in being cut out rather than heard.
