Pros

-Lots of autonomy as long as deadlines are met and your work quality is good -Lots of opportunities for junior employees to develop presentation and client interaction skills -Most of our projects require a small consultant team of 1 manager and 1 analyst which I find preferable to working on big teams -Our client contacts (mostly staff at public utilities/cities) are helpful, kind, and reasonable for the most part

Cons

-Vast majority of projects (water/wastewater rate studies) require lots of hours in Excel and begin to feel repetitive over time -Steep learning curve for new junior staff (a lot of learning on the fly and reverse-engineering others' work) -Rate-setting in California compared to other states is particularly tedious and litigious due to Proposition 218

Thank you for taking a moment to share your feedback on Glassdoor. What I particularly appreciate about your review is your insight into the life of a Consultant. There are many positives such as autonomy, learning opportunities, working within a team, etc. Just like other careers, there are challenges. We do our best to address those challenges so our employees can focus on the mission, to deliver lasting solutions to our clients.
