High pay, fast burnout - Associate Huron Consulting Group Employee Review

Pros

- Pays well - Provides opportunities to develop entirely new skill sets quickly - Flexible PTO means you can take time off as much as and whenever you want, as long as your manager approves it - Stellar benefits package - Company pays your cell phone expenses

Cons

- Burnout; expected 45-50 hrs/wk min (40 hrs/wk + 5-10 hours of "practice development"). - In essence, you are permanently on-call employee. Work calls and emails with urgent requests can come at any hour; hard to justify protecting your time when Huron pays for your cell service - Late nights and weekend work are often unavoidable during busy periods, as are boredom and feelings of disconnectedness during quiet periods - "Bro culture" is present in pockets; can be a challenging environment for introverts and females to work in - Manager quality ranges widely; a bad manager running a project that is several months long is exhausting no matter how strong your work ethic is - Hard to take full advantage of your stellar benefits due to having little time - Travel can be brutal, many times lasting Mon-Thurs

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.
