Pros

The work at Summit is intellectually rewarding, and the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between warm/familiar and intellectual/professional. The company invests a lot in the skills and growth of its employees. The work-life balance is amazing compared with other consulting firms.

Cons

The level of transparency internally about the organization and its trajectory could be improved to make sure that people feel even more like they're part of a larger team. Promotions are only year-end, so they don't always align well with when they are warranted.

Pros

- Interesting work all in all - Encourages professional development (in house and external through an annual stipend) - Pay is reasonable given the expected billable hour target (1900 per year for staff) - Fairly flexible work schedule (depending on managers approval though) - Co-works are nice and easy to work with - Flat management structure that encourages staff to take on more responsibility - Albert is great to work with and is a very encouraging CEO who seems to like to mentor junior staff

Cons

- Company sponsored social events are all after hours which is not always conducive for working parents to participate in (that said the company employee base is slanted towards single, recent grads...) - Some policies (health care premium structure for one) seems slanted toward being more generous to employees w/o families. - Staff is mainly recent grads, which is fine, though if you are mid-career you may find yourself 'aged out' of most of the after hours social activities.

Thank you for your thoughtful input. We recognize the importance of firm-wide social events to foster collaboration, and it's certainly challenging to plan those during work hours in a client-facing environment. We try to schedule philanthropy activities during the day as an alternative. Please let our Operations Manager or HR Generalist know if you have alternate ideas; we are open to suggestions!

Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback. We are looking to expand our team-building events, from expanding into new intramural teams to more frequent game nights. We are open to any and all suggestions in that department.
