BRG reviews

BRG claims they determine your performance on a large variety of things, but ultimately it’s just billable hours. You will be asked to do non-billable work such as business development, recruiting, and training. While these might sound interesting it’s important you avoid them as much as possible. They will reduce the all-holy utilization rate. You need to set your values and boundaries EARLY. They will guilt you into working until midnight or tell you that working from home is not great for the team. If you are not able to deal with a behavior or a requirement long term speak up EARLY. You’ll feel stuck and unable to speak up otherwise.

First and foremost at BRG, hours billed comes before the employees, which unfortunately, is the true nature of consulting! Staff work endlessly to see who can bill the most hours, which becomes very counter-productive! Lack of communication from upper-management is also a very big issue at this firm, which especially hurts junior level staff - makes their job unnecessarily harder. On one hand, upper management preaches the importance of communication, but on the other, they don't do it themselves - which is hypocritical to say the least. In the end, your time and experiences at BRG will heavily depend on the team and those you work with!
