Pros

The people are what makes ArcLight Consulting a great place to work. Everyone is incredibly smart and helpful and genuinely willing to take time our of their day to help you - and 1v1 help, not just pointing you to something to read online. People care about spreading their knowledge and helping others grow as well. Being a boutique consulting firm, you get to connect with leadership more than you may at a larger firm and sometimes get an understanding of where their mind is at for the future. They also have a pretty solid bonus structure that they modified many times to make sure it was truly the best for us and compensated us for the work we've done so that's a huge plus and something I appreciated. Also, if you want to switch specialties or just learn something different, they let you jump on that almost right away so there's a lot of flexibility to make it what you want. If you're looking for a boutique consulting firm experience without big company politics, a place to make a defined impact as well as some pretty great friendships, ArcLight is a great place to be.

Cons

Small firm can have long hours and you can feel like you're doing more than you should in your role at times. Thats just the nature of these firms. If you're really good at what you do you'll be fine. If you're fresh out of college, you can be pretty overwhelmed by learning software, industry, navigating clients, etc. but then after the first year, its pretty much all up from there.

Pros

Growth opportunity: Ability to hone your skills and build a career Customer Focus: Helping customers maximize their cloud investment Access: open door policy all the way to the CEO level | certifications and continuing education Giving back: encouraged to give back | mentor junior staff or volunteer in community

Cons

With growth comes growing pains - consulting is not always a 9-5 job so flexibility is key and a fast paced environment is not necessarily for everyone

Pros

Team seemed very happy and excited to welcome me to their company, compensation would have been great for experience level

Cons

Don't expect loyalty from this company. I was a part of their 2023 hiring class, expecting to start my position September 2023, however at the end of August about two weeks before my aniticipated start date, my offer was rescinded without any indication this was a possibility, plunging me into the worst entry level job market in years all over again. I turned down multiple other offers/interviews to take this position after an incredibly dragged out interview process, had even take the time to participate in unnecessary check in meetings throughout the summer (which went unpaid) all to ultimately be let go when summer hiring for most other entry level jobs had concluded and the possibility of going back to school fall semester had passed, leaving my options incredibly limited. Now I am stuck in a job completely unrelated to consulting that I dislike strongly, and the possibility of lateralling into consulting from it is very slim. If you accept an offer at this company make sure to keep applying and networking for other jobs because if the going gets tough, they showed what loyalty to expect.
