Great Place to Work

Pros

After only a few months, I couldn't be happier to be a part of the Summit team. It is a small firm of around 100 people, but there are many great benefits. The work is interesting, the team is great, the building is beautiful, and the snacks are great too.

Cons

I have a difficult time coming up with any real cons after only a few months. It really has been great.

Smart place for smart people

Pros

Management is genuinely interested in investing in their staff and keeping talent long-term, even as the company grows rapidly. There are plenty of opportunities for junior and mid-level staff to demonstrate leadership capacity and grow their careers, though there's a commensurate amount of work associated with this. Summit doesn't suffer from the career stagnation that often characterizes larger consulting/research firms. Management also makes quality of life a priority and promotes work/life balance, including work-from-home options, flexible hours, and plenty of social activities after hours (if you enjoy hanging out with coworkers and bosses).

Cons

Fast growth means that existing staff are stretched thin to cover new work. Management has proactively been hiring in order to get out ahead of this problem, but growing pains and a need for training are typical for any company growing as fast as Summit. Also, there are some aspects of Summit that still feel like outgrown vestiges of a small business - for example, no intranet can mean hunting for information through email inboxes. Be aware that, in order to qualify for the end-of-year bonus you'll be expected to complete a certain target of billable hours before December 31. This isn't necessarily a con, but it's important to know about it up front so you're not surprised once you're in the door.

We appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Although some activities are non-billable, we appreciate the commitment the staff has taken to work outside their target hours to bring valuable training and opportunities to other staff. We will also continue to work hard to ensure cross-functional opportunities are available to staff and to support each Summiteer’s career growth.

Pros

Positive culture, flexible hours, (usually) good work-life balance, meaningful work. Convenient location, nice office space, fun social events (like kickball and yoga). Good educational benefits and general enthusiasm for intellectual curiosity.

Cons

Sometimes lacks clear leadership from management. Some teams are more understaffed and routinely experience worse work-life balance than others.

We appreciate your thoughtful feedback. While we work hard to provide a positive work environment and a strong corporate culture, we do recognize that some teams are "burning hot" more than others. We seek to identify more ways to smooth out this "lump" utilization by expanding cross-team opportunities and training.
