Pros

Great 401k match (6%), decent salary. Good opportunity to develop clinical analytic skills in a fast-paced environment.

Cons

I'm usually pretty fair when writing these reviews, but I'm spending some extra time on this one pointing out This firm has very little diversity (very few women or persons of color in C-Suite, no set processes to assist new employees, poor onboarding processes, an awful work/life balance, and a bait and switch attitude when setting expectations during the interview process. Analysts are stretched to the breaking point with unreasonable expectations for providing analytical and quantitative input, leading to burnout and poorly executed project management.

Pros

-Great work/life balance - anyone who says otherwise hasn't done their homework on consulting industry. It's difficult to compare to non-travelling jobs, but even then, I'm much happier here than other companies where I didn't travel. -Culture is second to none - during the recruiting process, interviews, and onboarding, I heard a lot about culture, and after a few months now I see it firsthand. My teammates are like my other family now - we're open, honest, and we challenge each other. -Travel perks - not that Huron's are necessarily better, but it comes naturally with all the travel. This job would be miserable if we didn't get points from airlines, hotels, car rentals, etc. We have to arrange travel, but Huron pays for it all, rather than being reimbursed. That makes travel much easier. -Leadership opportunities - as analysts, we get almost immediate client-facing opportunities. After about a month and a half, I've had the opportunity to (mostly) lead and take ownership of some initiatives. You also have to take ownership of your own career and if you do, it seems there are plenty of leadership opportunities that will advance your career quickly.

Cons

-Lack of guidance - not a strong "con" but I would like to see more guidance on what's expected of us, what specifically will help advance our careers quickly, what responsibilities we should take on from the start, etc. Fortunately, my coworkers and leadership have all been very open in giving this advice when I ask, but I wish they would communicate it to us initially and continuously. -Pay - compared to other firms, we are underpaid. We're mostly healthcare, so I have to factor in our mostly non-profit clients' budgets, but the other major firms we compete with also do a lot of healthcare consulting as well. However, I don't let it concern me much, as it's a motivating factor to advance more quickly.
