Pros
Having experience working for both large and small management consulting firms in the DC area, BRMi’s leadership team, commitment to delivery excellence, investment in employees, and culture is second to none. BRMi’s leadership team is engaging, thoughtful, and open-minded. Have a great new idea, concept, or improvement idea? Bring it directly to the top and make your pitch. New ideas aren’t only considered, they’re encouraged. Commitment to delivery excellence doesn’t stop with employees on the client site. The management team ensures BRMi is delivering the right solution the right way, and not the wrong solution the fast way by engaging directly with clients to understand the heart of their problems. You can’t get that level of engagement or intimacy from a larger firm. BRMi takes a vested interest in growing and maturing employees’ careers through a multitude of resources. Want to earn your PMP, become a Scrum Master, or go to training for that new tool or certification to further your career? Submit a request through BRMi’s Training Center. Don’t have time for a full training class, but want to learn more? BRMi has recurring Brown Bag Series and has developed Career Paths that allow employees to continue knowledge growth at a self-paced level. BRMi also hosts leadership training for rising employees and sponsors employees for entry into industry-government organizations. I’ve never seen a company provide more opportunities or options to further an employee’s career. BRMi hosts multiple events throughout the year including a holiday party, family picnic, Nats games, Wizards game, happy hours, and volunteering events to name a few. With employees spread across the DMV, management makes a concerted effort to rotate venues between Virginia, DC, and Maryland to make it easier for employees to attend events. Mike often speaks about the “BRMi Family” and I couldn’t think of a better way to describe it. Events at BRMi are about more than just employees as you’ll quickly get to know spouses, children, and friends. I’ve never worked with a more dedicated, passionate, or driven group of people and wish BRMi nothing but continued success.
Cons
As with any firm in the DC area, delivery teams tend to work on the client site which leads to geographically dispersed teams. As a result, it’s the responsibility of employees to make the effort to participate in events outside of normal delivery.
