Boutique consulting firm with good work life balance

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance; projects are overstaffed and there’s not much work to do. The firm is a vehicle for BCG to win federal contracts giving employees the chance to work on some high profile projects (albeit in non functional roles).

Cons

Directors are two-faced and dishonest about the firm’s performance and outlook. Private conversations are not always private; managers have been promoted due to favoritism and for boosting DEI numbers. The firm has two large contracts that most employees rotate on. Leadership has difficulty in attracting business. Expect teammates to disappear when pushed out by leadership. The firm is an implementation consulting company marketing itself as a strategy consulting firm.

Rios Partners Response

While we remain committed to all AAP requirements from the Dept. of Labor, all promotion and termination decisions are based upon merit alone and not DEI attributes. We take performance management very seriously and we're sorry the process did not meet your expectations.

Pros

Overall, this firm has pretty good work-life balance.

Cons

Toxic culture–not much room for growth and poor transparency from leadership. Salary isn't the most competitive.
