Peloton Consulting Group reviews

Mentorship program is not great and kind of mediocre which is an interesting contrast to the cheerleader mentality here. The matching up of mentors and mentees seems to make no sense and it is not really enforced so if you aren't someone who has a very clear and distinct career path in mind then you will flounder since the work itself can be boring since a lot of it is ERP software. If you don't like accounting or dry financial data or analytics then this may not be a fit. They promise training and support and have made strides in that direction but make no mistake that on top of a big work load you will be learning a lot on your own time if you don't already know the software. (This can also be a pro for some people. ) Unlike bigger and established consulting firms you do not get a company credit card unless you are a sales person or higher management (as far as I know) so be prepared to use your credit card and then get reimbursed more than 3+ weeks later. They do have options to mitigate it but I imagine it is extremely awkward asking a more senior person to pay for your expenses for whatever reason. Combined with below industry pay; this seems to show a lack of awareness of the economic realities for younger team members (or lack of caring but I don't get the impression that is the case). Peloton has a certain image in mind for its culture where it is a bit more casual but still a professional consulting firm but could work more on better management and clarifying policies, better on-boarding onto projects, and better tech support honestly. Lets be honest, "unlimited" vacation sounds amazing but with a consulting firm and a deadline driven environment...there seems to be a disconnect particularly since Peloton is heavily in the northeast, an area where people value putting in hours and bragging about it. If you want to work for a start-up a la tech start-ups you won't get what you are looking for. If you want to work in consulting and not be too miserable this company is a good medium.

The pay is below average for the industry by roughly 10-15%. The benefits are well below average as well. There is a mentor program like most other consulting firms but the mentor program isn't enforced. I maybe met with my mentor once a quarter when it is expected to be a bi-weekly meeting. There is a huge disconnect between the regions and the practice. Peloton hasn't defined itself yet. It is trying to be practice oriented with the regions and they are starting to butt heads on who owns which resource. This causes many issues from staffing to revenue reporting.
