Overall great place to work

Pros

Salary is competitive, and projects are interesting if you manage to land the right ones. The bonus structure is good as financial incentives are tied to company performance. Even with a "meets contribution" rating, one receives a good annual bonus payout equal to % of base salary. Employee stock options, unlimited PTO, minimal travel (in some services), helpful, friendly, approachable internal groups to assist with operations, doesn't feel overly hierarchical, good reputation among clients and very intent on good references in order to grow the portfolios of work. has a desire to be innovative and disruptive without overhauling the entire business model, and leaders seem very transparent and no-nonsense. Global company with global presence, but without it having some of the siloes of other consulting firms. They invest in certifications, and there are a few opportunities to do in-person events on occasion. Most people are dispersed and work remotely if they don't need to travel to a client site.

Cons

Promotions are political at the Manager and above level, and because it is not an up-and-out model, one might find themselves having grown several years but not be promotion-eligible due to utilization (which can sometimes totally be at the whim of clients and staffing, not the consultant or portfolio lead). Sometimes, the company wants to rely too much on "land-and-expand" selling work and landing contracts. It wants to stay scrappy and maintain its positive reputation in the marketplace, which can sometimes create extra burdens later in an engagement when there is a need for a change order, re-scope of work, etc., to extend projects and resources. That can also be a broad consulting thing.

Pros

Cordial, friendly colleagues who care

Cons

The Oracle EDU practice is rife with cliques and favoritism. A few Oracle directors who started out of college and have rode leadership coat tails and have been deemed rising stars and are preordained to be MD’s manage staffing for projects and initiatives and place their favorite resources and friends in the most visible roles to give them leadership exposure and ensure their own projects are staffed with the best talent while all other projects get the bottom of the barrel. This should be a function of HR / Talent not community leads and is a clear conflict of interest. If you’re a subject matter expert with the most experience you will be passed over for opportunities while lesser equipped resources who are the favorite pets of the MD’s are touted and their experience grossly exaggerated as if we can speak it into fruition that “Jane/John is a rock star”. The practice has been bleeding employees to Deloitte’s new EDU practice and lots of folks have left because of the cliques and favoritism but leadership turns a blind eye, is unapologetic and generally passive and unwilling to address the issue. Management projects double digit growth but due to the cliques and favoritism and lack of client focus Deloitte is crushing Huron in the market.
