Loose the metrics and find the people

Pros

- Absolutely rock solid set of people on the delivery and customer facing side of the business. - Opportunities are your responsibility to make. If you want a particular type of role or challenge tell your scheduler (Not your CA/Mgr as they tend to take the good ones for themselves first) - Transparency on basic business operations and financial exposure, though listening to the CFO these days at the all-hands does not give me warm fuzzies.

Cons

- I've been through rocky times here before, the difference is the 50% ownership and need for saving/paying out the multiple target in 2025. This is driving financial metrics that the company, with its current employee base, is ill equipped to deliver. - SalesForce has sold you a bill of goods that is complete BS. Just because you have numbers that back up your decisions and choices does not mean that its the right choice. Remember when you just had to go with your gut, instead of the $MM SFDC crap system telling you what to do? Thats what made WMP awesome to work for. Today we are just numbers, with targets on our backs.

Pros

Sadly, the best thing about WM used to be its people. WM has continued our recent track record of acquiring great companies with amazing people - unfortunately, those acquired people (and the leaders of those companies) have been slowly worked out. If you're looking into WM, be sure to ask about turnover in the last year - not a good story.

Cons

I have seen so many talented people leave. It's sad to see our leaders so focused on revenue and losing sight of being great people-leaders. The "great" leaders at WM sell work. If you generate revenue, you're golden. If you want to focus on great work (and you're not a salesperson), you will not last. Soul-sucking culture completely focused on cash.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We also believe the best thing about West Monroe is its people, including you! Acquisition transitions are very difficult for employees and leaders. We hear your frustration and are actively trying to change this narrative to have more amazing people stay. If you haven't already, please reach out to your Talent Business Partner and give them this feedback so it can be given to leadership. Again, thank you for leaving a review, and we will work hard to ensure you want to continue your career at West Monroe.

Not For Introverts

Pros

Great Culture (for those extroverted type who like going to bars and the like) Great People- I never had a problem with anyone (well... except for this one person) Young People- Everyone is rather young which can be a breath of fresh air

Cons

Not for introverts- I was told that I needed to "change my personality" when I had informed them about my introversion very early on. Regardless, if you do not have a "Go Go Go" attitude about your projects or are not the type to fake your talents and skill sets, this really may not be the place for you Dead End- They don't invest in growth. They pretend to be on the radar for the next big breakthrough in tech. But in reality, they refuse to leave their comfort zone. This makes growing and learning in this company very difficult to achieve unless you go out and take additional courses yourself
