Consulting Pace Without the Structure to Support it - Developer CrossCountry Consulting Employee Review

Working with clients and helping project teams complete their assignments. Good coordination with different departments. Knowledgeable and professional employees. Recognition for good work and opportunities to take on additional responsibilities.

Too much documentation and reporting on some projects

Some colleagues demonstrated actual competence at their work.

• Senior staff controlled which people received high-profile assignments and advancement opportunities based on personal relationships rather than merit or performance • Colleagues outside the established inner circle were routinely overlooked for roles and projects while less experienced people with better connections moved ahead repeatedly • I brought relevant qualifications and took on difficult assignments, but my career progression stalled because I lacked the relationships that mattered for advancement • Career development conversations and advancement decisions happened without transparency or input from those being affected, determined entirely by people in charge • The organization made no effort to acknowledge the pattern of favoritism or implement systems that would ensure fair consideration for all employees
