      Great consulting firm

      Pros

      This is a great firm to work for. They have an awesome culture with really smart people and some interesting projects. The consultants you work with are very smart, driven but don't have the arrogance of what you see at some of the other top tier firms. Work life balance is something that is actually possible at this firm. But if you like working longer hours, the bonus structure affords you more pay. They are also growing at a fast pace so that could potentially mean more opportunity. For anyone considering the firm, I urge you to apply. Getting through the interview process is not easy, but it was worth it. The interview process is long (4 rounds that took about a month in my case).

      Cons

      If possible, could the 401k be upgraded. What we have is decent but could be better.

      Motivated & Connected

      Pros

      Being a newer firm everyone's input is valued and your work on internal initiatives will help set up the future for the firm. This gives you great motivation to be successful and you feel connected to those you are working with. Because of this the team is very close and actually enjoys hanging out for happy hour, lunch, sporting events, and such. The pay is good for Portland being a smaller market and coming from a big firm the local feel really makes it easier to have a work/life balance. Lots of firms say they are dedicated to this balance but Propeller is my first experience that actually does it.

      Cons

      Being a smaller newer firm there can be bumps along the way in communicating and onboading, however being able to help improve and guide these bumps definitely overrides the original issue. As there is a desire and recognition to improve.

      Great point: we want to make sure everyone's input is valued, no matter how big we grow. After all, who is better to help us keep our company great than a talented group of business consultants? And to maintain long-term relationships with our people we'll continue to encourage balancing work-life and personal-life, too, hopefully making both great. We've grown quickly and the best way to stay a great company to work for and with is to remain humble about our ability to improve. Thanks for the review and please let us know if you see ways we can do better!

      Fun and exciting place to work

      Pros

      I love working at Propeller. The owners are amazing people and so are all of my co-workers. The projects are interesting and challenging, and I'm paid a fair wage. We have fun creating strategies together, whether it involves a specific project, recruiting, business development, training, or knowledge management.

      Cons

      I can't think of any. Having worked in Big 4 firms for years, this is a huge step up, in my opinion.
