Pros

Management is genuinely interested in investing in their staff and keeping talent long-term, even as the company grows rapidly. There are plenty of opportunities for junior and mid-level staff to demonstrate leadership capacity and grow their careers, though there's a commensurate amount of work associated with this. Summit doesn't suffer from the career stagnation that often characterizes larger consulting/research firms. Management also makes quality of life a priority and promotes work/life balance, including work-from-home options, flexible hours, and plenty of social activities after hours (if you enjoy hanging out with coworkers and bosses).

Cons

Fast growth means that existing staff are stretched thin to cover new work. Management has proactively been hiring in order to get out ahead of this problem, but growing pains and a need for training are typical for any company growing as fast as Summit. Also, there are some aspects of Summit that still feel like outgrown vestiges of a small business - for example, no intranet can mean hunting for information through email inboxes. Be aware that, in order to qualify for the end-of-year bonus you'll be expected to complete a certain target of billable hours before December 31. This isn't necessarily a con, but it's important to know about it up front so you're not surprised once you're in the door.

Summit Consulting Response

We appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Although some activities are non-billable, we appreciate the commitment the staff has taken to work outside their target hours to bring valuable training and opportunities to other staff. We will also continue to work hard to ensure cross-functional opportunities are available to staff and to support each Summiteer’s career growth.
