Huron Consulting Group reviews

The work day is very flexible and you are allowed 22 paid days off per year (including sick days and holidays). Working from home is somewhat tolerable but not encouraged (as long as your project team agrees or no one is in the office that you need to work or network with).

Overall a pretty good place to work. It's essentially a crapshoot as to the projects that you get put on. Some can be really interesting and intellectually, some can outright suck. The same goes for managers and project leads (MDs). Some people are really thoughtful and willing to help, some are absolute jerks. That's sort of the way it works anywhere though. As far as compensation goes, Huron is fairly undermarket. Their pitch to staff (Associates/Analysts) was that you'd receive a lower salary, but would (not could) make up for that with overtime (past 40 billable hours per week) and bonus (never under 10%). Overtime was taken away on 1/1/09 and bonuses have been 0% for 2008 and roughly 2-3% on average for 2009. Also, salaries have not increased in comparison to market value. Most of the people at Huron at very interesting and intelligent people. In disputes consulting, either you are analytical and detailed at the same time or you just won't make it. If you aren't both you're either going to get burned out form being a numbers stickler or you're going to suck at your job (for missing things). There's really nothing in between. For those that are successful, it is a very, very interesting job. If you can work on some good projects and stay away from the folks who think they walk on water (very, very few - but it only takes one jerk to ruin an experience), you'll have an outstanding experience.
