      BRG HPI division - not so hot

      Senior managing consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Co-workers can be an extremely bright group of people (varies by project) - Chicago office is very helpful, specifically IT support - Travel wasn't so terrible - Mon - Thursday, rare layovers - Salary was ok, mid-range for the level - Benefits decent, good package, matching 401k

      Cons

      - Bonuses truly based on popularity, not work - HPI Management does not hold conversations about HR issues sacred - A good-ole boy network even though the managers are a younger demographic (witnessed personally) - Problem managers are not addressed

      Pigeonholed very quickly

      Managing consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart and helpful colleagues Really nice office space Firm management is open to new ideas/initiatives Depending on who you work with, you can advance quickly, have a lot of responsibility early on, and pick up new skills. There's not a lot of bureaucracy.

      Cons

      Overall, your experience at the firm - everything from work-life balance to the skills you develop - is completely determined by who you work for. If you have a manager who is not interested in supporting your career growth or interests, you can be stuck. While the firm leadership says it encourages staff to explore different types of projects, and to build a broad skillset, you're on your own as far as making it happen. The reality is that a lot of people get pigeonholed very quickly and they can neither move around the firm nor move up. The pressure to maximize utilization is entirely on staff - nevermind that your workload and its timing is largely out of your control. Criteria for promotion and titles for lateral hires exist, but in practice, it's very arbitrary.

      Unimpressive

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Variety of different damages projects; geographic and background diversity.

      Cons

      Experts are testifying experts, not necessarily the best and the brightest. Some MDs assume that they own everyone. Pockets of toxic work culture. No company work culture to begin with. Think twice before accepting their job offer.
