Pros

I worked at Summit Consulting for several years. Overall I enjoyed my time there and feel like I learned a lot and grew in my career. I would recommend Summit for someone who is trying to start out in an analytical or statistical programming role. That said, once you become a consultant or a senior consultant it is time to move on. Summit is a small company and has limited opportunities to advance beyond the consultant role, it is the nature of the company, it size, and the current growth trajectory. - Location is convenient for both metro and commuter rail - Free snacks - Nice open and modern office, though if you like privacy you are out of luck - Flexible work hours and telework once you have been at the company for a while - You are given responsibility as soon as you show you are capable - Albert, the CEO and founder, is great. If you get to work with him you will learn a lot about consulting, what it means to become a ‘trusted advisor’, and statistical methods.

Cons

- Management overall is a mess. Some of the senior people seem to be more interested in how they ‘appear’ to staff than to actually get work done or to bring in work to grow the company. Some people come off like they want to be seen as important/capable, even though they are not. - Federal contracting has slowed down and company growth has slowed down with it. - If you are on a large project sometimes it is hard to get access to other, more interesting work. - Anthony, of the other partners, to be perfectly honest, comes across as kind of creepy. He once suggested the company have a pool party at his corporate apartment building… True story. - Work can pile up and therefore over time and weekend work can be expected at times. Overall, if you are just starting out Summit is a great place to build the foundation of an analytical career. If you can manage it, work for Albert, he is great. My only recommendation is to learn what you can and then move on.

We want to thank you for taking the time to share such thorough feedback. You’ve pointed out a lot of the positives about working at Summit. We work hard to make Summit a great place to work and we have seen that in our semi-annual employee satisfaction survey with 96% of our staff stating that they enjoy their job. You also cite the downturn in the Federal market space. While the Federal market has been tricky in the last 5 quarters, our revenue from Federal sector is expected to grow. You also mention overtime and I want to address that directly. Work-life balance is very important to everyone at Summit and we strive to accommodate personal goals while meeting and exceeding client demands. In fact, in 2017 the average employee work week was 42 hours. While pockets of the firm experience short-term demands for hours as is normal with the cyclical nature of consulting, we work hard to maintain flexible scheduling around core hours and telecommuting options. We hope that you enjoyed your time at Summit, learned as much as you could and that you take that into your next role. And who knows, maybe you will join many of our “Summit alumni” who crash our holiday party and happy hours!
