Pros
One consistency across practices is great people work at Huron. Friendly, collaborative environment exists within most teams. Recent college grads typically get good training and professional development opportunities from senior team members and are treated well. People don't leave Huron because of coworkers. Also, benefits are generally above market. Exit opportunities vary across segments, but junior team members have had success landing impressive jobs post-Huron. No up-or-out policy either.
Cons
Everyone's experience within Huron is vastly different across service lines. That said, hours tend to be fairly long: 50-60 hours is pretty average, and most groups experience 1 or 2 week spurts where hours are brutal (as is typical with engagement-based work), so work/life isn't great. Base comp is below market, and promotion expectations vary by practice, which is pretty frustrating. The firm's promotion policy is in direct conflict with its "cogs in a wheel" staffing policy for junior team members. Turnover is high across all levels within the company, which underscores the fact that Huron has great talent but cannot retain it under its current comp policy. I don't know any Analysts or Associates who have any intention of becoming a Managing Director at Huron. Bottom line is the publicly traded consulting model may not be effective for a company of Huron's size and market position, especially in the down years, as it hinders the firm's ability to retain its talent.
